<Type of symbol>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c), the first special view display 212, the second special view display 214, the decorative symbol display 208, and the normal symbol display 210 of the pachinko machine 100 are stopped and displayed. The types of special drawing and common drawing will be described.

  Fig.5 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect (1st symbol aspect) of a special figure. A special figure 1 fluctuation game is started on condition that the 1st starting opening sensor which is a ball detection sensor detects that the ball entered the first special drawing starting opening 230, and the 2nd special drawing starting opening 232 is a ball A special figure 2 fluctuation game is started on condition that the 2nd starting opening sensor which is a ball | bowl detection sensor detected that it had entered ball. When the special figure 1 variation game is started, the first special figure display device 212 repeats the lighting of all the seven segments and the lighting of one central segment "the variation display of the special figure 1" (special figure Play the fluctuation game). Also, when the special figure 2 change game is started, the second special figure display device 214 repeats the lighting of all the seven segments and the lighting of the central one segment, "the variation display of the special figure 2" ( Perform special feature variation game). Then, when the fluctuation time determined before the start of fluctuation of the special figure 1 elapses, the first special view display device 212 stops and displays the stop symbol aspect of the special figure 1, and the fluctuation time determined before the start of fluctuation of the special figure 2 As the second special view display device 214 stops and displays the stop symbol aspect of the special view 2. Hereinafter, a series of displays from the start of this "variation display of special drawing 1 or special drawing 2" to the stop display of the stop symbol aspect of special drawing 1 or special drawing 2 is referred to as the fluctuation stop indication of special drawing There is. The variable stop display of this special view may be performed several times continuously.

  In FIG. 5A, ten types of special views of "special view A" to "special view J" are shown as stop symbol modes in the symbol variation display. In FIG. 5A, the white portions in the figure indicate the locations of the segments to be turned off, and the black portions indicate the locations of the segments to be lit.

  In the present embodiment, six types of big hit symbols ("Special Figure A" to "Special Figure F") are prepared as stop symbol modes of the special view. “Special figure A” and “Special figure B” are 15 round (R) big hit symbols, “special figure C” and “special figure D” are 6 R big hit symbols, “special figure E” and “special figure F” "Is a 2R jackpot symbol. After these symbols (special drawings A to F) are stopped and displayed, the control state becomes the special drawing high probability common drawing high probability state. In the present embodiment, even if the special figure A to F big hit, after the end of the big hit game, if the special figure high-speed display of variation is displayed a predetermined number of times (for example, 14 times), from the special figure high probability state It is configured to transition to the special figure low probability state. This number may be referred to as the ST (Special Time) number. In addition, even if the special figure A-F big hit, after the end of the big hit game, when the special figure fluctuation stop display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times, 14 times or 10 times), It is configured to shift from the probability state to the general view low probability state. This number of times may be referred to as the number of times of power support or the number of time savings. In the present embodiment, when the special figure 1 makes a big hit, 10 times of electric support is given after the big hit, regardless of which big hit symbol. On the other hand, when the big hit in the special figure 2, although it will be described in detail later, depending on the gaming state when the big hit, the number of times of electric support given after the end of the big hit game is 100 times, 14 times or 10 times It is configured to be an animal. The number of times of ST and the number of times of power support can be set arbitrarily, and for example, the number of times of ST and the number of times of power support may be the same or different.

  The term "round" as used herein refers to the number of chances of acquiring a predetermined amount of gaming value (predetermined number of balls). In the present embodiment, the number of times of operation of the variable winning opening 234 shown in FIG. 3 is represented, and 15 rounds means one or more opening and closing operations of the variable winning opening 234 one time (one operation), This means that this operation lasts 15 times. That is, one operation corresponds to an example of a specific change in which the open / close state changes from the first open / close state (here, the closed state) to the second open / closed state (here, the open state). During the big hit game, this specific change is performed a plurality of constant times (15 times in the case of 15 rounds). Each round is among the entry of game balls of a predetermined round end condition (for example, a predetermined number of balls (10 balls as an example), acquisition of a predetermined amount of gaming value (predetermined number of balls), and lapse of predetermined time from the start of the round End when one or more of In the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, as described later, the determination of whether or not a big hit in the special figure variation game is performed by lottery of hardware random numbers, and the type of big hit symbols is performed by lottery of software random numbers. In this embodiment, when the big hit game is over, regardless of the big hit symbol, it moves to the special figure high probability state where the probability of winning the big hit is high, but with the big hit symbol, the probability of winning the big hit is low It may be configured to transition to the special figure low probability state. Further, in the present embodiment, during the big hit game, it shifts to the special figure low probability state, and after the big hit game is over, the special figure high probability state is maintained until the variation display of the special figure of a predetermined ST number is performed. Sometimes becoming special figure high probability state after the end of the big hit game is also referred to as special figure probability variation, the state (special figure high probability state) that the probability of winning a big hit after the big hit game end is high is an advantage of the player It is a control state in which the degree is high and corresponds to an example of a second probability control state. This special figure high probability state may be called a definite change state. In this specification, although the term "control state" is used to describe the state inside the gaming machine (pachinko machine 100), the term "control state" includes the concept of so-called gaming state. The transition of the probability control state is performed by the main control unit 300, and the main control unit 300 corresponds to an example of the probability control state transition means or an example of the control means.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, regardless of the big hit symbol, the state shifts to a state with a power support (power support) (hereinafter referred to as a power support state). The power support state is a predetermined state in which the player's advantage is higher than the non-power support state, for example, by shortening the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variation game to the start of the next big hit. Say The power saving state is one of the control states prepared for the pachinko machine 100, and may be referred to as a time saving state. That is, the power support state (time saving state) is started on condition of the end of the big hit game. Strictly speaking, the "power support state" is a state of a general view, and the "time-short state" is a state of a special view or a general view and a special view. The time saving flag is also prepared in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and when the time saving flag is set to ON, it is in the power support state and in the general drawing high probability state. It is easier to win the popular map fluctuating game in the popular drawing high probability state than in the common drawing low probability state (general drawing positive change). For example, the winning probability of the common drawing fluctuation game is 1/101 in the common drawing low probability state (non-power support state), but increases to 99/101 in the common drawing high probability state (power support state). In addition, in the power support state, the fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation game is shorter than in the non-power support state (general drawing change short). For example, in the non-power support state, the fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation game of 10 seconds is shortened to 1.2 seconds in the power support state. Further, in the power-on state, the opening time of the second special-figure start opening 232 in one opening of the tongue member 2321 tends to be longer than in the non-power-on state (power-tw open period extension). For example, in the non-electric support state, the power Chu open period of 0.3 seconds is extended to 1.7 seconds in the electric support state. Furthermore, in the power-on state, the tongue member 2321 opens more easily than in the non-power-on state. For example, the Vero member 2321 that opens only once in the non-power-sustaining state per one pass to the common drawing start port 228 opens three times in the power-sending state (for example, 1.7 seconds is repeated three times to open) , The closing time between opening and closing is 1.6 seconds). The probability of entering the second special view starting opening 232 is increased by the extension of the power chewing open period and the increase in the number of power chewing open. In addition, the time saving flag is set to off during the big hit game. Therefore, during the big hit game, the non-power support state is maintained. This is the power support state during the big hit game, a predetermined number in the variable winning opening 234 during the big hit game, many gaming balls in the second special view starting port 232 until the game ball enters the ball There is a problem that the number of game balls that can be hit and won during a big hit increases and the euphorism increases, which is to solve this. In the present embodiment, in the power support state (time reduction state), all of the generalization probability change, the generalization change short period, the power chew open period extension, and the increase in the number of power chew open times are performed. If any one of them is performed, the player's degree of advantage is high, and may be set to the power support state (time saving state). Alternatively, the electric support state (shorting state) may be set if either the electric-chu open period extension or the electric-chu open number increase is performed, which increases the probability of entering the second special view starting opening 232. . In the non-power-supply state, it is more difficult for the gaming ball to enter the second special view start opening 232 than in the power-supply state. As described above, in the second special view start opening 232, the size of the entrance into which the game ball enters changes from one of the small size and the large size to the other. In the second special figure starting port 232, the entrance is large in size in the power-sap state for a longer period of time than in the non-power-sap state. In the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, the power support state (general drawing high probability state) is maintained until the fluctuation display of the special drawing of the predetermined number of times of electricity support is performed, and the fluctuation display of the next special drawing is started. Then, it shifts to the non-power support state (generally low probability state). In the non-electric support state, the second special view start port 232 maintains the entrance at a small size. On the other hand, as described above, in the power-on state, the second Toku-zu start port 232 has a large-sized entrance, and the entry rate of the game balls is increased. That is, in the non-power support state, the gaming ball enters the second special view start opening 232 which is the variable start area at the first entry rate, while in the power support state, the gaming ball starts the second special view The mouth 232 is approached at a second approach rate higher than the first approach rate. Therefore, the non-power support state corresponds to an example of the first approach rate control state, and the power support state corresponds to an example of the second approach rate control state.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, two types of stop symbols are prepared as small hit symbols in addition to the big hit symbols. Special figure G shown in Drawing 5 (a) is the 1st small hitting design, special figure H is the 2nd small hitting design. In the small hit game, the door member 2341 of the variable winning opening 234 is operated a predetermined number of times (for example, twice), and the door member 2341 maintains the open state for up to only 1.5 seconds per one operation. In the opening of the door member 2341 in the small hit, for example, when the game ball enters a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10 balls) in the first opening, or a predetermined amount of gaming value (predetermined number of balls) If it does, the second and subsequent opening will not be performed. During the small hit game, transition to the special figure low probability spread map low probability state. The small hit is a part whose control state does not change before and after the small hit game, and returns to the control state before the small hit game starts after the small hit game is over.

  In the big hit game and the small hit game, the door member 2341 of the variable winning opening 234 performs one or more opening and closing operations, and the player's advantage is relatively high. In the present embodiment, although the small hit game is configured to be executable, the small hit game may not be performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, two types of lost symbols are prepared. The special drawing I shown in FIG. 5A is the first loss symbol, and the special drawing J is the second loss symbol. When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the door member 2341 of the variable winning opening 234 does not open and close, and the player's advantage is relatively low. In addition, a lost design (for example, a third lost design etc.) other than the "special figure I" and the "special figure J" may be additionally prepared, and in this embodiment, the lost design includes a plurality of types of designs. It is

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, the second advantage degree hit control state (big hit control state and small hit control state) in which the player has a high degree of advantage, and the second advantage degree. A first advantage degree of loss control state having a low degree of advantage is prepared, and the pachinko machine 100 is either the hit control state (second control state) or the loss control state (first control state). Take control state. The transition of these control states is also performed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300, and the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 also corresponds to an example of control state transition means. In the small hit control state, although the door member 2341 of the variable winning hole 234 performs the opening and closing operation, since entering the variable winning hole 234 can hardly be expected, the small hit control state is the first advantageous. It can also be regarded as a degree of control state (first control state).

  The first special view display device 212 and the second special view display device 214 are notification means for notifying the success / failure determination result (lottery result), and symbol aspect corresponding to the result of the success / failure determination after starting symbol fluctuation It corresponds to an example of the symbol display means which performs symbol variation display until the special views A to J and the special view J are stopped and displayed.

  FIG. 5 (b) shows an example of a decorative symbol. There are ten types of "decoration 1" to "decoration 10" in the decorative design of the present embodiment. The fact that the ball has won in the first special view start opening 230 or the second special view start opening 232, that is, the first start opening sensor has detected that the ball has entered the first special view start opening 230, or The left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display of the decorative symbol display device 208 on condition that the second start aperture sensor detects that the ball has entered the second special drawing start aperture 232. Displayed in the order of "decoration 1" → "decoration 2" → "decoration 3" → ... "decoration 9" → "decoration 10" → "decoration 1" → ... in each symbol display area of the area 208c. Change the "display of variation of decoration pattern". That is, the decorative symbol display device 208 variably displays the decorative symbol separately from the first special view display device 212 and the second special view display device 214. Then, the stop symbol mode (second symbol mode) which is a combination of the decorative symbols is stopped and displayed. In the case of notifying "special figure A" and "special figure B" that are 15R big hit, and "special figure C" and "special figure D" that is 6R big hit, the same decorative symbols are displayed in symbol display areas 208a to 208c A stop display of “combination 1 of decorative symbols” (for example, “decorative 1—decorative 1—decorative 1”, “decorative 2-decorative 2-decorative 2”, etc.) in which three lines are arranged. Moreover, when notifying "special figure A" and "special figure B" which are 15R big hit, specific decorative symbols (for example, "decor 3", "decor 7", etc.) in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. And stop-displaying "combination 2 of decorative symbols" (for example, "decorative 3-decorative 3-decorative 3", "decorative 7-decorative 7-decorative 7", etc.). Moreover, when notifying "special figure E" and "special figure F" which are 2R big hit, "combination 3 of a decoration pattern" such as "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 3" in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. Stop display, and when notifying "special figure G" and "special figure H" which are small hits, "decoration 1" such as "decoration 1-decoration 3-decoration 5" in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c. Stop displaying combination 4 ′ ′. Moreover, when notifying "special figure I" and "special figure J" which are loss, in the symbol display areas 208a to 208c, decorative symbols other than "combination 1 of decorative symbols" to "combination 4 of decorative symbols" Stop displaying the combination of (eg, loose eyes). Hereinafter, in the decorative symbol display device 208, a series of displays from the start of this "variation display of decorative symbols" to the stop display of the stop symbol aspect of the decorative symbols (for example, "combination 2 of decorative symbols") It may be called the fluctuation stop display of the symbol. In this embodiment, the symbol aspect of the special figure 1 and the symbol aspect of the special figure 2 are used in common, but the stop symbol aspect of the special figure 1 and the stop symbol aspect of the special figure 2 are different May be

  In addition, the stop symbol aspect (refer to FIG. 5 (a)) of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 and the stop of one decorative symbol displayed in each symbol display area 208a-208c of the left middle of the decorative symbol display device 208 In the design of the symbol (see (b) in the same figure), the decorative symbol (see (b) in the same figure) is larger.

  FIG.5 (c) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect (2nd symbol aspect) of a common figure. There are two types of stop display modes of the common drawing of the present embodiment, "common drawing A" which is a hit symbol, and "common drawing B" which is a lost design. Based on the fact that the ball sensor has detected that the ball has passed through the drawing start port 228, the drawing display device 210 detects that all seven segments are lit and one central segment. Repeat “Lighting” “variable display of common drawing” (common drawing fluctuation game). Then, after the fluctuation time has elapsed, either one of the "common figure A" which is a hit symbol and the "general figure B" which is a lost symbol is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG. 5C, the white part in the figure indicates the location of the segment to be turned off, and the black part indicates the location of the segment to be lit.

  Hereinafter, a series of displays from the start of the “variation display of the common drawing” to the stop display of the stop symbol aspect of the common drawing may be referred to as the fluctuation stop display of the common drawing. The common view display device 210 corresponds to an example of the auxiliary symbol notification means.

<Main control unit main processing>
Next, main control unit main processing executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 will be described using FIG. In addition, the same figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of main-control part main processing.

  The RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 stores a special figure random number value, a special figure symbol determination random number, and the like. Further, the RAM 308 is provided with a random number counter which generates these various random number values. Further, the RAM 308 stores the number of reserved special drawings, special drawing winning random number values, various determination (lottery) results, and the like. Hereinafter, an area for storing the number of reservations of the special view in the RAM 308 may be referred to as a storage area for the number of special drawings suspension. Furthermore, the RAM 308 is provided with a start information storage unit for special drawing divided into the maximum number (four in this example) of areas for which the start of the success / failure determination (lottery) can be suspended. A random number storage area for common use is also prepared. In the start information storage unit for special drawing, as described later, a plurality of types of start information are made into one set, and the start information is stored for each area one set at a time in the winning order (holding order).

  As described above, the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 340 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 which has received the start signal resets and starts due to a reset interrupt, and executes main control main processing shown in FIG. 6 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  In step S101, initial setting 1 is performed. In this initial setting 1, setting (temporary setting) of the stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of the interrupt mask, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, WDT 314 Permission of operation and setting of initial value. In the present embodiment, a value corresponding to 32.8 ms is set in the WDT 314 as an initial value.

  In step S103, the value of the counter of the WDT 314 is cleared, and the time measurement by the WDT 314 is restarted.

  In step S105, whether or not the low voltage signal is on, that is, the voltage monitoring circuit 338 determines the voltage value of the power supplied by the power control unit 660 to the main control unit 300 via the second sub control unit 500. It is monitored whether or not a low voltage signal indicating that the voltage has dropped is output when the value of V is less than a predetermined value (9 V in the present embodiment). When the low voltage signal is on (when the CPU 304 detects that the power is shut off), the process returns to step S103, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the CPU 304 does not detect the shut off of the power), the step is performed. It progresses to S107. Even if the predetermined value (9 V) is not reached immediately after the power is turned on, the process returns to step S103, and step S105 is repeatedly executed until the supply voltage becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

  In step S107, initialization 2 is performed. In this initial setting 2, a process of setting in the timer circuit 312 a numerical value for determining a cycle for periodically executing a main control unit timer interrupt process described later, a predetermined port of the I / O 310 (for example, a test output port, A process of outputting a clear signal from the output port to the first sub control unit 400, setting for permitting writing to the RAM 308, and the like are performed.

  In step S109, it is determined whether or not to return to the state before power interruption (before power interruption), and when not returning to the state before power interruption (when the basic circuit 302 of the main control unit 300 is in the initial state) And the initialization process (step S113).

  Specifically, the RAM clear signal transmitted when the store clerk or the like of the game store operates the RAM clear switch 180 provided on the power supply substrate 182 shown in FIG. 2 is first turned on (indicating that there has been an operation) If it is determined that the RAM clear signal is on (if the RAM clear is necessary), the process proceeds to step S113 to initialize the basic circuit 302. move on. On the other hand, when the RAM clear signal is off (when the RAM clear is not necessary), the information of the power supply status stored in the power supply status storage area provided in the RAM 308 is read, and the information of the power supply status is information indicating suspension. It is determined whether or not. Then, if the power supply status information is not the information indicating the suspend, the process proceeds to step S113 to set the basic circuit 302 in the initial state, and if the power supply status information is the information indicating the suspend, the predetermined area of the RAM 308 A checksum is calculated by adding all 1-byte data stored in (for example, all areas) to a 1-byte register whose initial value is 0, and the result of the calculated checksum is a specific value (for example, 0) It is determined whether or not (whether the result of the checksum is normal). Then, if the result of the checksum is a specific value (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is normal), the process proceeds to step S111 to return to the state before the power failure, and the result of the checksum is specific. If it is other than the value (for example, 0) (if the result of the checksum is abnormal), the process proceeds to step S113 in order to initialize the pachinko machine 100. Similarly, when the power supply status information indicates information other than “suspend”, the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S111, power recovery processing is performed. In the power recovery process, the value of the stack pointer stored in the stack pointer save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power failure is read out and reset (set) to the stack pointer. Further, the value of each register stored in the register save area provided in the RAM 308 at the time of power interruption is read out, and after resetting in each register, the interrupt permission is set. Thereafter, as a result of the CPU 304 executing the control program based on the reset stack pointer and register, the pachinko machine 100 returns to the state at the time of power-off. That is, the process is resumed from the instruction following the instruction (predetermined in step S115) immediately before branching to the timer interrupt process (described later) immediately before the power interruption. A transmission information storage area is provided in the RAM 308 mounted on the basic circuit 302 in the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. In step S111, a power recovery command is set in the transmission information storage area. The power recovery command is a command indicating that the power has been turned off, and is transmitted to the first secondary control unit 400 in step S233 in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300 described later.

  In step S113, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization processing, setting of interrupt prohibition, setting of the stack initial value to the stack pointer (main setting), initialization of all storage areas of the RAM 308, and the like are performed. Further, at this point, a normal return command is set in the transmission information storage area provided in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. This normal recovery command is a command indicating that the initialization process (step S113) of the main control unit 300 has been performed, and, like the power recovery command, in the timer interrupt process of the main control unit 300, 1 Sub control unit 400 is sent.

  In step S115, after the setting of interrupt prohibition is performed, basic random number initial value update processing is performed. In the basic random number initial value updating process, two initial value generation random number counters for generating initial values of a common drawing win random number counter and a special drawing random number counter are updated. For example, assuming that the numerical range that can be taken as a special figure random value is 0 to 99, obtain a value from the random number counter storage area for generating the special figure random value provided in the RAM 308 and add 1 to the obtained value. Are stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the obtained value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. The other initial value generation random number counters and the random number counters are similarly updated. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S115 except while performing the timer interrupt process which starts every predetermined cycle.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described. In addition, the same figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of main-control part timer interruption processing.

  The main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 7 includes a timer counter 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once in about 2 ms in this embodiment), and the main control is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The partial timer interrupt process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 in the stack area is performed.

  In step S203, the WDT 314 is periodically (this process is not performed) so that the WDT interrupt does not occur (the process error does not occur) because the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial set value (32.8 ms in this embodiment). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once in about 2 ms, which is the cycle of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S205, an input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update processing, detection signals of various sensors 320 shown in FIG. 4 including various ball detection sensors are input through the input port of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of detection signals, It stores in the signal state storage area provided separately for each sensor 320. Taking the detection signal of the ball detection sensor as an example, the information on the presence or absence of the detection signal of each ball detection detected in the timer interrupt process (about 4 ms before) is performed in the RAM 308 for each ball detection sensor. This information is read out from the previous detection signal storage area provided separately and stored in RAM 308 for the previous second detection signal storage area provided separately for each ball detection sensor, and the previous timer interrupt process (about 2 ms ago Information of the detection signal of each ball detection sensor detected in the above is read out from the current detection signal storage area provided in the RAM 308 by dividing each ball detection sensor, and this information is stored in the previous detection signal storage area Remember to In addition, the detection signal of each ball detection sensor detected this time is stored in the above-mentioned current detection signal storage area.

  In step S205, the information on the presence / absence of detection signals of each ball detection sensor stored in each storage area of the previous-previous detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area is compared. It is determined whether the information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in the ball detection sensor of the above-described item matches the winning determination pattern information. The main control unit timer interrupt process is activated several times while the activation is repeated at a very short interval of about 2 ms while one game ball passes through one ball detection sensor. Therefore, every time the main control unit timer interrupt processing is activated, in the above-described step S205, a detection signal indicating that the same gaming ball has passed through the same ball detection sensor is confirmed. As a result, detection signals representing that the same gaming ball has passed through the same ball detection sensor are stored in the previously-previous detection signal storage area, the previous detection signal storage area, and the current detection signal storage area, respectively. That is, when the gaming ball starts to pass through the ball detection sensor, there is no detection signal, the previous detection signal, and the current detection signal. In the present embodiment, it is determined that there is a winning when the detection signal is continuously stored twice twice after the absence of the detection signal in consideration of the erroneous detection of the ball detection sensor and noise. In the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 shown in FIG. 4, winning determination pattern information (in the present embodiment, information indicating that there is no detection signal last time, the previous detection signal, and the current detection signal) is stored. In this step S205, information on the presence or absence of detection signals for the past three times in each ball detection sensor is predetermined winning determination pattern information (in this embodiment, no detection signal for the last two times, detection signal for last time, presence of current detection signal) Entry to the general winning opening 226, the variable winning opening 234, the first special view starting opening 230, and the second special drawing starting opening 232, or the common view starting gate 228. It is determined that there was a passage of That is, it is determined that there is a winning or passing to these winning openings 234, 226 and these starting openings 230, 232, 228. For example, when the information of the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times in the first start port sensor that detects entry of the ball into the first special view start port 230 matches the above-described winning determination pattern information, the first special view It is determined that there has been a prize in starting opening 230, that is, it is determined that a game medium which passes through a predetermined area is detected, and the processing following the winning in first special drawing starting slot 230 is performed. If the information on the presence or absence does not match the above-described winning determination pattern information, the process branches to the subsequent processing without performing the processing associated with the winning of the first special drawing start port 230 thereafter. The ROM 306 of the main control unit 300 stores winning determination clear pattern information (in the present embodiment, information indicating that there is a detection signal before the previous time, no previous detection signal, and no current detection signal). Once it has been determined that a prize has been made once, it is not determined that there has been a prize until the information on the presence / absence of detection signals for the past three times in each ball detection sensor matches the prize determination clear pattern information. If it matches with the pattern information, it will be determined from the next whether or not it matches with the above-mentioned winning determination pattern information.

  In steps S207 and S209, basic random number initial value updating processing and basic random number updating processing are performed. In the basic random number initial value updating process and the basic random number updating process, the value of the initial value generating random number counter performed in step S115 is updated, and then the common control symbol random number value and the random number The random number counter for generating each of the special figure random numbers is updated. For example, assuming that the numerical range that can be taken as a special figure random value is 0 to 99, obtain a value from the random number counter storage area for generating the special figure random value provided in the RAM 308 and add 1 to the obtained value. Are stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the obtained value is 100, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Also, as a result of adding 1 to the acquired value, when it is determined that the random number counter has made a round, the value of the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to each random number counter is acquired and stored in the storage area of the random number counter. set. For example, a value is acquired from a random number counter for special figure random number value generation that fluctuates in a numerical range of 0 to 99, and the result obtained by adding 1 to the acquired value is stored in a predetermined initial value storage area provided in RAM 308 If the value is equal to the previously set initial value (for example, 7), the value is acquired as the initial value from the initial value generation random number counter corresponding to the random number counter for special figure random number value generation. The initial value set this time is stored in the above-mentioned initial value storage area in order to determine that the random number counter for special figure random number value generation makes a round next, while setting it in the random number counter for generation. Also, in order to determine that the random number counter for special figure random number generation has made one round separately from the above-mentioned initial value storage area for determining that the random number counter for special figure random number value generation has made one round next An initial value storage area of is provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S211, effect random number update processing is performed. In this effect random number updating process, the random number counter for generating the effect random number used by the main control unit 300 is updated.

  In step S213, a timer update process is performed. In this timer update process, the common pattern display symbol update timer for measuring the time for displaying the fluctuation / stop display of the symbol on the normal symbol display device 210, the first special view display device 212, and the second special view display device 214 Special figure display symbol update timer for clocking the time to display the fluctuation / stop, various timers including timer for clocking predetermined winning effect time, predetermined opening time, predetermined closing time, predetermined ending effect period, etc. Update the timer.

  In step S215, a winning opening counter update process is performed. In this winning opening counter update process, when winning openings 234 and 226 and starting openings 230 and 232 have a winning, the value of the winning balls number storage area provided for each winning opening or each starting opening in RAM 308 is calculated. It is read, 1 is added, and it sets to the original prize ball number storage area.

  Further, in step S217, a winning acceptance process is performed. In the winning reception process, if predetermined conditions are satisfied, plural types of start information are acquired. The plurality of types of start information acquired here are stored as one set of start information in an open area according to the winning order (order of suspension) in the start information storage unit provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S219, which is executed following step S217, a payout request number transmission process is performed. The output schedule information and the payout request information to be output to the payout control unit 600 shown in FIG. 4 are composed of 1 byte, and the strobe information (in the case of ON, indicates that the data is set) is shown in bit 7, bit 6 Power-on information (in the case of ON, it indicates that it is the first command transmission after power-on), bits 4 to 5 this processing type for encryption (0 to 3), and bits 0 to 3 The number of withdrawal requests after chemical processing is indicated.

  In step S221, a common drawing state update process is performed. The common drawing state update process performs one of a plurality of processes corresponding to the common drawing state. For example, in the common drawing state update process in the middle of the common drawing fluctuation display (the value of the common drawing display symbol update timer described above is 1 or more), the 7 segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is lit repeatedly Turn off drive control. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 performs the fluctuation display of the common drawing (general drawing fluctuation game).

  Also, in the common drawing state update process at the timing when the common drawing fluctuation display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of the common drawing display symbol update timer changes from 1 to 0), when the hit flag is on, the display of the hit symbol The 7 segment LED constituting the normal symbol display device 210 is controlled to turn on / off to be an aspect, and when the hit flag is off, the normal symbol display device 210 is configured to be the display mode of the lost symbol. Performs on / off drive control of the 7-segment LED. Further, in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, setting areas for preparing various settings in various processes, not limited to the general drawing state update process, are prepared. Here, while performing the said lighting * extinguishing drive control, the setting which shows that common view stop display is performed to the setting area is performed. By performing this control, the normal symbol display device 210 is configured so that the hit symbol (for example, "common symbol A" shown in FIG. 5 (c)) and the lost symbol (for example, "common symbol B" shown in FIG. 5 (c) Perform final display of any of the symbols in). After that, information indicating a stop period is set in a storage area of a common drawing stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308 to maintain the predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms). By this setting, the symbol which has been fixedly displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the player is notified of the result of the common drawing fluctuation game.

  Further, if the result of the common drawing change game is a hit, the common drawing hit flag is turned on as described later. When the flag for the drawing is on, the common state update processing at the time when the predetermined stop display period ends (when the value of the timer for managing the drawing stop time changes from 1 to 0) In the setting area, set the general drawing operation, and hold the tongue member 2321 in the opening state by the drive means of the tongue member 2321 of the second special drawing start port 232 for a predetermined opening period (for example, 5.8 seconds). A signal is output, and information indicating an open period is set in a storage area of a blade open time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Further, in the general drawing state update process starting at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (the timing when the value of the blade opening time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 500 ms), A signal for holding the tongue member 2321 in the closed state is output to the opening / closing drive driving means, and information indicating the closing period is set in the storage area of the blade closing time management timer provided in the RAM 308.

  Also, in the general drawing state update processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period ends (the timing when the value of the blade closing time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the setting area of the general drawing is set in the setting area of the RAM 308 Do. Furthermore, if the result of the common drawing change game is a loss, the common drawing deviation flag is turned on as described later. When the out-of-normal-pattern deviation flag is on, even in the common-diagram state update processing at the timing when the predetermined stop display period described above ends (when the value of the in-use drawing suspension time management timer changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, the non-operational view is set. In the common drawing state update processing in the case where the common drawing is not in operation, the process proceeds to the next step S223 without doing anything.

  In step S223, a common drawing related lottery process is performed. In this common drawing related lottery process, the common drawing fluctuation game and the second special drawing start opening 232 are not controlled (the state of the common drawing is not in operation) and the holding of the common drawing fluctuation game When the number is 1 or more, it is determined whether the result of the common drawing change game is to be won or not to be won by the random number lottery based on the common drawing win random number stored in the above random number storage area. In the case of winning, the hit flag provided in the RAM 308 is set to ON. In the case of failure to win, the hit flag is set to off. In addition, regardless of the result of the hit determination, the value of the predetermined random number counter is acquired as a common drawing timer random number value, and the common drawing display device 210 is generally selected from among a plurality of fluctuation times based on the acquired common drawing timer random number value. One time for fluctuating display of a figure is selected, and this fluctuating display time is stored in a common drawing fluctuation time storage area provided in the RAM 308 as a common drawing fluctuation display time. In addition, the number of common drawing fluctuation games held is stored in the common drawing reservation number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of common drawing fluctuation games held each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is stored again in this common drawing reserve number storage area. Also, the random number value used for hit determination is deleted.

  Subsequently, a special drawing prefetch process (step S224) is performed. Details of the special view prefetching process will be described later. Next, special figure status update processing is performed for each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, but first, the special figure status update process (special figure 2 status update process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S225). In this special view 2 state update process, one process out of the next plurality of processes is performed according to the state of the special view 2.

  For example, in the special figure 2 status update process in the middle of the special figure 2 fluctuation display (the value of the special figure 2 display symbol update timer is 1 or more), the 7-segment LED constituting the second special view display device 214 is turned on Repeatedly turn off and turn on and off drive control. By performing this control, the second special view display device 214 performs the variable display of the special view 2 (special view 2 change game). Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation start setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area, and then the process is ended.

  Further, the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300 is provided with flags such as 15R big hit flag, 6R big hit flag, 2R big hit flag, small hit flag, out flag, special figure probability change flag, and common drawing probability change flag. . These flags are set to on or off based on the determined stop symbol in the special figure 2 related lottery process described later. In the special figure 2 status update process which starts at the timing when the special figure 2 fluctuation display time has elapsed (the timing when the value of special figure 2 display symbol renewal timer becomes 1 from 0), for example, 15R big hit flag is on, special figure If the probability fluctuation flag is also on and the spread map probability fluctuation flag is also on, either the special drawing A or the special figure B shown in FIG. 5A, the 6R jackpot flag is on, the special drawing probability fluctuation flag is on, If the chart probability fluctuation flag is on, then either the special chart C or the special chart D, the 2R jackpot flag is on, the special chart probability fluctuation flag is on, and the spread chart probability fluctuation flag is on, the special chart E, one of the special figures F, one of the special figures G, one of the special figures H when the small hit flag is on, one of the special figures I, the special figures J when the off flag is on 7 segment L which constitutes the 2nd special figure display 214 Perform turning on and off the drive control and D, to set indicating that it is a special symbol 2 stop display of the setting area of the RAM 308. By performing this control, the second special view display device 214 is a 15R big hit symbol (special figure A, special figure B), 6R big hit symbol (special figure C, special figure D), 2R big hit symbol (special figure E, special figure E, The special symbol F), the small hit symbol (special symbol G, special symbol H), or the lost symbol (special symbol I, special symbol J) is displayed.

  Thereafter, in order to maintain the display of the predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 ms), information indicating the stop period is set in the storage area of the special view 2 stop time management timer provided in the RAM 308. As a result of this setting, the special view 2 that has been fixedly displayed is stopped and displayed for a predetermined period, and the result of the special view 2 fluctuation game is notified to the player. Also, if the number of time saving stored in the time saving number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the time saving number, and if the subtraction result changes from 1 to 0, the time saving flag is turned off. Do. Furthermore, also during the big hit game (during special game state), the time saving flag is turned off. In this embodiment, at the timing when the time saving flag is switched from on to off, the remaining hold flag is turned on, and a value (the number of remaining holdings) corresponding to the number of variable displays of the special figure 2 being held is set. Thereafter, 1 is subtracted from the number of remaining reservations every time the finalized display of the special figure 2 is performed, and when the subtraction result changes from 1 to 0, the remaining suspension flag is turned off. Further, if the ST number stored in the ST number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from the ST number, and if the subtraction result changes from 1 to 0, the special figure probability fluctuation flag Turn off (probable change flag). Furthermore, during the big hit game (during special game state), the special figure probability fluctuation flag is turned off.

  Moreover, while additionally storing predetermined transmission information indicating that the rotation stop setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) in the above transmission information storage area, the symbol for stopping the fluctuation display is the special view 2 The processing is ended after the special view 2 identification information indicating that there is a special information is additionally stored in the RAM 308 as information to be included in command data described later.

  In addition, if the result of special figure 2 fluctuation game is big hit, big hit flag is turned on. When the big hit flag is on, in the special figure 2 status update process at the timing when the predetermined stop display period is over (the timing when the value of the stop time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the setting of the RAM 308 In order to set a special figure 2 in action in the area and to wait for a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a period displaying an image notifying the player that the decorative symbol display device 208 starts a big hit In the storage area of the special view 2 waiting time management timer provided in the RAM 308, information indicating a winning presentation effect period is set. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the winning a prize setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 status update process starting at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends (the timing when the value of the timer for the standby time management changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined opening period (for example, 29 seconds) Or until the solenoid for driving the door member 2341 of the variable winning opening 234 (a part of various solenoids 332) until A signal for holding the member 2341 in the open state is output, and information indicating the open period is set in the storage area of the door open time management timer provided in the RAM 308. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening opening setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special view 2 status update process that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends (when the value of the door opening time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds) A signal for holding the door member 2341 in a closed state is output to a solenoid (a part of various solenoids 332) for opening and closing driving of the door member 2341 of the variable winning opening 234 and a timer for door closing time management provided in the RAM 308 Information indicating a closed period is set in the storage area. Further, predetermined transmission information indicating that the special winning opening closing setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area.

  Further, the opening / closing control of the door member 2341 is repeated a predetermined number of times (15 rounds, 6 rounds or 2 rounds in the present embodiment), and the special figure 2 state update process started at the end timing For example, for 3 seconds) storage of a timer for effect waiting time management provided in the RAM 308 in order to set to stand by for a period displaying an image notifying the player of ending the big hit by the decorative symbol display device 208 Information indicating the effect standby period is set in the area. In addition, if the common drawing probability fluctuation flag is set to ON, at the same time as the end of the big hit game, time reduction number of times (for example, 100 times, 14 times or 10 times) is set in the time reduction number storage unit provided in the RAM 308 At the same time, the short time flag provided in the RAM 308 is turned on. If the common drawing probability fluctuation flag is set to OFF, the time saving number is not set in the time saving number storage unit, and the time saving flag is not set on.

  The term "time reduction" as used herein means that the pachinko machine is in an advantageous state for the player in order to shorten the time from the end of the big hit in the special figure variation game to the start of the next big hit. When the time saving flag is set to ON, it is a common drawing high probability state (common drawing definite change). The probability of becoming a hit in the common drawing fluctuation game is higher in the common drawing high probability state than in the common drawing low probability state. In addition, the variation time of the general drawing fluctuation game is shorter in the general drawing high probability state than in the general drawing low probability state (general drawing change short). Furthermore, in the general drawing high probability state, compared with the general drawing low probability state, the opening time in one opening of the tongue member 2321 of the second special drawing starting port 232 is likely to be long (electric Chu open-rolling). In addition, in the general drawing high probability state, the tongue member 2321 opens more easily than the general drawing low probability state. The state in which any of these common drawing positive change, common drawing change short, and electric Chu diversion is set is called electric support (starting hole winning support by electric tulip).

  Further, as described above, the time saving flag is set to off during the big hit game (during the special game state). Therefore, during the big hit game, the general drawing low probability state is maintained. This is a regular game high probability state during the big hit game, a predetermined number of variable winning openings 234 during the big hit game, a lot of games in the second special view starting port 232 until the game ball enters the ball There is a problem that the ball enters the ball and the number of game balls that can be acquired during the big hit increases and the euphorism increases, and it is for solving this.

  Furthermore, predetermined transmission information indicating that the end effect setting transmission process is to be executed in the command setting transmission process (step S233) is additionally stored in the above-described transmission information storage area.

  Also, in the special figure 2 status update process starting at the timing when the predetermined end effect period ends (the timing when the value of the production waiting time management timer changes from 1 to 0), the special figure 2 non-operational setting area Set to medium.

  Furthermore, if the result of the special figure 2 fluctuation game is a loss, the out flag is turned on. When the out flag is on, even in the special figure 2 state update process at the timing when the above-mentioned predetermined stop display period ends (the special value 2 stop time management timer value changes from 1 to 0), In the setting area of the RAM 308, the special figure 2 non-operation is set. In the special figure 2 state update process in the case where the special figure 2 is not in operation, the process proceeds to the next step S227 without doing anything.

  Subsequently, special figure status update processing (special figure 1 status update processing) for the special view 1 is performed (step S227). In the special view 1 state update process, each process described in the special view 2 state update process described above is performed according to the state of the special view 1. Each process performed in this special view 1 state update process is the same as the process in which “special figure 2” of the content described in the special figure 2 state update process is replaced with “special figure 1”, so I omit it. The order of the special figure 2 state update process and the special figure 1 state update process may be reversed.

  When the special figure state update processing in step S225 and step S227 is finished, special figure related lottery processing for special figure 1 and special figure 2 is performed this time. Here too, the special figure related lottery process (special figure 2 related lottery process) for the special figure 2 is performed (step S229), and thereafter, the special figure related lottery process for the special figure 1 (special figure 1 related lottery process) ) (Step S231). The special figure 2 related lottery process does not perform the variable game of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, and the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are both in a non-operation state, and the special figure 2 is pending. It is executed using the first special figure 2 winning random number value and the special figure 2 random value in the special figure 2 random number value storage area, with the number of the variable game being one or more as a start condition. The special figure 1 related lottery process does not perform the floating game of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, and the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are both in a non-operation state, and the special figure 1 is suspended. It is executed using the first special figure 1 winning random number value and the special figure 1 random value in the special figure 1 random number value storage area, with the number of the variable game being one or more as a start condition.

  With regard to these special drawing related lottery processing, the main control unit 300 performs the special drawing 2 related drawing processing prior to the special drawing 1 related drawing processing, so that the start condition of the special drawing 2 fluctuation game and the special drawing 1 fluctuation Even when the game start condition is established at the same time, the special figure 2 fluctuation game is moving first, so the special figure 1 fluctuation game does not start fluctuation. In addition, when the number of reservations of the special figure 2 fluctuation game is 1 or more, the lottery process and the fluctuation game regarding the suspension of the special figure 1 fluctuation game are not performed. In addition, the notification of the result of the success or failure judgment of the special pattern variation game by the decorative symbol display device 208 is performed by the first sub control unit 400 and the second sub control unit 500, and the second special view starting opening 232 is won. Notification of the lottery result based on the lottery is based on priority to notification of the lottery result of the lottery based on the winning to the first special drawing start port 230. In the present exemplary embodiment, the special figure fluctuation game (special figure 2 fluctuation game in this example) having a high degree of advantage is performed prior to the special figure fluctuation game (special figure 1 fluctuation game in this example) having a low degree of advantage. For this reason, it may be easy to give a difference to the degree of advantage of the gaming state.

  In the case of the special figure 2 related lottery process of step S229, the main control unit 300 starts the special figure 2 start information from the earliest (most stored) reserved position in the special figure 2 random number value storage area. Figure 2 winning random number value and special figure 2 (random number value pair) is acquired, ROM 306 based on the special figure 2 winning random number value in the special figure 2 start information and the value of the special figure probability fluctuation flag in RAM 308 etc Whether to make a big hit, a small hit, or a departure (decision determination) is performed using the qualification table stored in the table. Next, main control unit 300 uses the special drawing determination table stored in ROM 306 based on the special drawing 2 random number value in the acquired special drawing 2 start information, the determined success or failure determination result, etc. Determine the symbol (stop symbol) to be stopped after the variable display. Next, the main control unit 300 is stored in the ROM 306 based on, for example, the determined success / failure determination result, the stop symbol, the number of special figures 2 reserved at the time of the success / failure determination, the acquired random number value for special drawing fluctuation time determination, etc. The variable display time (timer number) of the special figure 2 is determined using various tables.

  After the main control unit 300 extracts the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random number value storage area, it deletes the first special figure 2 start information from the special figure 2 random number value storage area and Fig. 2 Special number of reserved numbers storage area 2 The number of reserved numbers in the storage area is decremented by 1. At this time, the special figure 2 start information extracted from the special figure 2 random number value storage area is stored in a temporary area provided in the RAM 308, and the above determination is performed based on the special figure 2 start information stored in this temporary area. You may do so.

  After the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) as described above, the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) is performed in the same manner. The order of the special figure 1 related lottery process and the special figure 2 related lottery process may be reversed.

  In the above description, the special figure 2 variation game is started prior to the special figure 1 variation game, and the special figure 2 priority variation in which the reserve of the special figure 2 is digested prior to the reserve of the special figure 1 is exemplified. Although special figure 1 fluctuation game is started prior to special figure 2 fluctuation game, it is special figure 1 priority fluctuation where special figure 1 reserve is digested before special figure 2 reserve May be In addition, without prioritizing any of the special figure 2 fluctuation game and the special figure 1 fluctuation game, starting figure winning order fluctuation which starts the special figure fluctuation game which relates to the retention of each of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 It may be In the start-up opening winning order variation, the upper limit number of reservations is 8 regardless of Special figure 1 and Special figure 2 and therefore, it is compared with the priority variation in which the upper limit number of reservations is 4 in each of Special figure 1 and Special figure 2 And you may be able to raise the pending limit.

  In the above description, although it is assumed that the lottery process and the fluctuation game for holding the other special drawing are not performed according to the state of one special drawing, it is not limited to this, and the above-mentioned special drawing state update The processing and the special drawing related lottery processing may be performed independently in each of the special drawing 1 and the special drawing 2, so that a plurality of special drawings may be simultaneously changed. In addition, when changing a plurality of special figures at this time, the decorative symbol display device 208 is provided with a plurality of areas for displaying the lottery results of the respective special figures, or the lottery results of the respective special figures are displayed. A plurality of decorative symbol display devices may be provided to display the respective lottery results separately, or one display may be configured to display the lottery results of a plurality of special views. In addition, when a plurality of special figures are changed simultaneously, the lottery result of the special figure which has stopped the variation first may affect the lottery result of the special figure which stops the variation later.

  In step S233 following step S231, command setting transmission processing is performed. In the command setting transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the first sub control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 is, for example, 16 bits, bit 15 is strobe information (in the case of ON, it indicates that data is set), bits 11 to 14 are Command type (in the present embodiment, basic command, special figure fluctuation start command, common drawing fluctuation start command, symbol fluctuation stop command, winning effect start command, end effect start command, jackpot round number specification command, power recovery command, RAM clear A command, information that can specify the type of command such as a prefetch result information command, and bits 0 to 10 are composed of command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  Specifically, the strobe information is turned on or off in the above-described command transmission process. If the command type is a symbol variation start (rotation start) command, the command data contains various big hit flags, small hit flags, lost flags, values of special pattern probability change flags, timers selected in the special drawing related lottery process In the case of the symbol fluctuation stop (rotation stop) command, it includes information indicating the number etc., and includes various jackpot flags, small hit flags, outlier flags, values of special view probability fluctuation flag, etc., and a prize effect start command and end In the case of the effect start command, the value of the special figure probability variation flag or the like is included, and in the case of the big hit round number designation command, the value of the special figure probability variation flag, the number of big hit rounds, etc. are included. If the command type indicates a basic command, the device data in the command data, presence or absence of winning to the first special view starting opening 230, presence or absence of winning to the second special view starting opening 232, winning of the variable winning opening 234 Including presence or absence. In the case of the pre-reading result information command, information such as the type of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the pre-reading number stored in the pre-reading number storage area described later, the stop symbol stored in the pre-reading result storage unit Including.

  In the above-mentioned rotation start setting transmission process, various big hit flags, small hit flags, lost flags, values of special figure probability fluctuation flags, special figure 1 related lottery process and special figures stored in the command data in the RAM 308 [2] Set information indicating the timer number selected in the related lottery process, the number of the special figure 1 fluctuation game or the special figure 2 fluctuation game, etc. being held. In the above-described rotation stop setting transmission process, information indicating various jackpot flags, small hit flags, lost flags, special drawing probability fluctuation flag values, and the like stored in the RAM 308 is set in command data.

  In the above-described winning effect setting transmission process, the command data is stored in the RAM 308, effect control information to be outputted to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 442, 452, and the speaker 120 during the winning effect period, special view probability fluctuation Information indicating the value of the flag, the number of the special figure 1 fluctuation game or the special figure 2 fluctuation game, etc. being held is set. In the above-described termination effect setting transmission process, the command data is stored in the RAM 308, effect control information to be output to the decorative symbol display device 208, various lamps 442, 452, and the speaker 120 during the effect waiting period, special view probability fluctuation Information indicating the value of the flag, the number of the special figure 1 fluctuation game or the special figure 2 fluctuation game, etc. being held is set. In the above-mentioned special winning opening open setting transmission process, the number of big hit rounds stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability fluctuation flag, the number of the special figure 1 fluctuation game or the special figure 2 fluctuation game held in the command data Set the information to indicate etc. In the above-mentioned special winning opening closing setting transmission process, the number of big hit rounds stored in the RAM 308, the value of the special figure probability fluctuation flag, the number of the special figure 1 fluctuation game or the special figure 2 fluctuation game held in the command data Set the information to indicate etc.

  Further, in step S233, general command special view hold increase processing is also performed. In this general command special view reserve increase processing, special view identification information (information indicating special view 1 or special view 2) stored in command data in the transmission information storage area of the RAM 308, notice information (previous notice information, false) Set prior advance notice information or any prior notice nothing information).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, according to the command type included in the received output schedule information, determination of effect control according to a change in game control in the main control unit 300 becomes possible, and is included in the output schedule information The effect control content can be determined based on the information of the command data.

  In step S235 following step S233, an external output signal setting process is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 350 separate from the pachinko machine 100 via the information output circuit 336.

  In step S237 following step S235, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, the signal states of various sensors stored in the signal state storage area in step S205 are read out to monitor the presence or absence of a predetermined error, such as the presence or absence of a front frame door opening error or a bottom plate full error. . When the front frame door opening error or the bottom plate full error is detected, the transmission information to be sent to the first sub control unit 400 includes device information indicating the presence or absence of the front frame door opening error or the bottom plate full error. Set In addition, various solenoids 332 are driven to control the opening and closing of the second special view starting port 232 and the variable winning opening 234, and the common view display device 210 and the first special view display through the drive circuits 324, 326 and 330. Display data to be output to the device 212, the second special view display device 214, the various state display unit 328, etc. is set in the output port of the I / O 310. The output schedule information set in the payout request number transmission process (step S 219) is output to the payout control unit 600 via the output port of the I / O 310.

  In step S239 following step S237, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the power is shut off is detected), the process proceeds to step S243, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the power is not shut off), the process proceeds to step S241. In step S241, a timer interrupt end process is performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the values of the registers temporarily saved in step S201 are set in the original registers, and the interrupt permission is set, and then the main control unit main process shown in FIG. 6 is performed. Return to On the other hand, in step S243, the power saving process such as initialization of the input / output port is performed by saving a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the state upon power failure at power recovery as recovery data. And then go into the HALT state.

  FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of the special view prefetch process (step S224) of the main control unit timer interrupt process. In the special view look-ahead process, the main control unit 300 pre-reads the start information increased in each of the special view 1 and the special view 2, and determines in advance the stop symbol prior to the success or failure determination process. The figure prefetching result is stored in the prefetching result storage unit (see FIGS. 9A to 9C) in the RAM 308.

  Here, in the RAM 308, the special view 1 pre-read result storage unit for storing the pre-read result of the special view 1 and the number of the special view 1 pre-read result stored in the special view 1 pre-read result storage unit A special figure 1 pre-reading number storage area to be stored as 1 pre-reading number is provided. In the present embodiment, up to four prefetch results can be stored. In the special view 1 pre-read result storage unit, the special order 1 pre-read result data of the highest rank (first) is deleted every time the number of special view 1 pre-read decreases, and the remaining special view 1 pre-read result It is processed so that the order of the data of is advanced one by one. Also, every time the number of special views 1 prefetching increases, data of new special views 1 prefetch results are written in the next order of the data of special view 1 prefetch results with the lowest rank (last).

  Also, in the RAM 308, the special view 2 pre-read result storage unit for storing the pre-read result of the special view 2 and the number of special view 2 pre-read results stored in the special view 2 pre-read result storage unit A special figure 2 look-ahead number storage area to be stored as a number is provided. In the present embodiment, up to four prefetch results can be stored. In the special view 2 pre-read result storage unit, the special order 2 pre-read result data of the highest rank is erased every time the number of special view 2 pre-read decreases, and the remaining special figure 2 pre-read result data ranking Are processed one by one. Further, every time the number of special views 2 prefetching increases, data of new special views 2 prefetch results are written in the next order of the data of the special views 2 prefetch results of the lowest rank.

  In the special view prefetching process, first, the main control unit 300 determines whether the start information of the special view 2 is increasing (step S301). The determination as to whether or not the start information of the special view 2 is increased is stored, for example, in the special view 2 pending count stored in the special view 2 pending count storage area and in the special view 2 prefetch count count storage area This is done by comparing with the special figure 2 pre-reading number. The main control unit 300 determines that the start information of the special view 2 is increasing when the special view 2 hold count is larger than the special view 2 look-ahead count, and the special view 2 hold count is the special view 2 look-ahead count and If equal, it is determined that the start information of Special Figure 2 has not increased. If it is determined that the start information of the special view 2 is increasing, the process proceeds to step S303, and if it is determined that the start information of the special view 2 is not increased, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S303, the special figure 2 start information (special figure 2 winning random number value and special figure 2 random number value pair) that has been increased is compared with the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) prior to the determination process Fig. 2 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the prefetched special view 2 start information, and the success / failure determination table and the special view determination table used at the time of pass / fail determination, for example, the stop symbol of the special view 2 variation game according to the start information Prior determination processing prior to the success or failure determination processing in the processing (step S229). Note that this prior determination process may be performed using a special table for the prior determination instead of the table used at the time of determination of success or failure.

  In step S305 following step S303, the stop symbol information as the special view 2 prefetch result obtained by the prior determination is stored in the first vacant area of the special view 2 prefetch result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S307.

  In step S307, the main control unit 300 determines whether the start information in the special view 1 is increasing. As in the case of, for example, the special figure 2, the determination as to whether or not the start information of the special figure 1 is increased is the special figure 1 pending number stored in the special figure 1 pending number storage area This is done by comparing with the special view 1 pre-reading number stored in the area. If it is determined that the start information of the special view 1 is increasing, the process proceeds to step S309. If it is determined that the start information of the special view 1 is not increased, the special view prefetching process is ended and the main control unit Return to timer interrupt processing.

  In step S309, it is determined based on various flags in the RAM 308 whether or not non-power support is in progress. If it is determined that it is not in the non-power support state, the process proceeds to step S311, and if it is determined that it is not in the non-power support state (it is in the power support state), the process proceeds to step S315. Although it is determined in the present example whether or not power is not being supplied, it may be determined whether the execution conditions of the special view 1 advance warning notification are satisfied. For example, the execution conditions of the special view 1 advance notice and notification include conditions such as not being in a big hit game other than being in non-power support.

  In step S311, the special figure 1 start information (the special figure 1 winning random number value and the special figure 1 random number value pair) that has been increased is compared with the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) prior to the acceptance determination process. Fig. 1 Read ahead from the random value storage area. Then, using the pre-read special figure 1 start information, and the success / failure determination table and the special figure determination table used at the time of pass / fail judgment, for example, the stop symbol of the special figure 1 fluctuation game according to the start information It is determined in advance prior to the success / failure determination process in the process (step S231). Note that this prior determination process may be performed using a special table for the prior determination instead of the table used at the time of determination of success or failure.

  In step S313 following step S311, the stop symbol information as the special view 1 look-ahead result obtained in advance determination is stored in the first vacant area of the special view 1 look-ahead result storage unit in the RAM 308. Thereafter, the special view prefetching process is ended and the process returns to the main control unit timer interruption process.

  In step S315, without pre-reading the special figure 1 start information which has been increased, "not determined" information indicating that the start information is not pre-read, instead of the stop symbol information, special figure 1 read-ahead result storage in RAM 308 Store in the first vacant area of the department. Thereafter, the special view prefetching process is ended and the process returns to the main control unit timer interruption process.

  In the present embodiment, only the increased start information is pre-read and determined in advance, but all the start information may be pre-read and determined in advance. In addition, in the above-described command setting transmission process (step S233), only the pre-read result of the start information for the increase may be transmitted to the first sub control unit 400, or the special-purpose 1 and special-purpose 2 pre-read result storage. All the pre-read results in the unit may be sent to the first sub control unit 400.

  Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, pre-reading is always performed for the start information of the increased special figure 2, and pre-reading is always performed for the increased start information of the special figure 1 except during power support. However, it may be determined by lottery whether or not to look forward to the start information of the increased special figure 1 and special figure 2. Alternatively, in the first sub-control unit 400 that has received the pre-reading result from the main control unit 300, for example, whether or not to execute pre-reading notification every holding may be determined by drawing. In addition, regardless of the gaming state (for example, whether or not it is in non-power support) etc., when start information is increased, pre-reading is always executed and pre-reading results are stored in the pre-reading result storage unit, and the pre-reading The result may be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, and the first sub-control unit 400 may be configured to determine whether to perform the lottery and the effect using the pre-reading result.

  FIG. 9 exemplifies a state in which prefetching result information and the like are stored in the prefetching result storage unit in the RAM 308. FIG. 9A illustrates an example of a state in which the special view 1 pre-reading result information is stored in the special view 1 pre-reading result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 9A, the special view 1 prefetch result storage unit has, for example, the same number (four in the present embodiment) of storage areas as the number of reserveable numbers of the special view 1 fluctuation game . Each storage area is associated with the hold order (pending 1 to 4) of the special figure 1 random value storage area. In each of the storage areas, stop symbol information of the special figure 1 is stored. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, "special figure J" (displacement) is stored as stop symbol information in the storage area "pending 1", and "special figure J" as stopping symbol information in the storage area "pending 2". Is stored, and "special map A" (15R big hit) is stored as stop symbol information in storage area "pending 3", and "special figure J" as stopping symbol information in storage area "pending 4". (Deterioration) is stored.

  FIG. 9B shows an example of a state in which the special view 2 prefetch result information is stored in the special view 2 prefetch result storage unit. As shown in FIG. 9B, the special view 2 pre-fetching result storage unit has, for example, the same number (four in the present embodiment) of storage areas as the number of reserveable numbers of special view 2 fluctuation games . Each storage area is associated with the holding order (pending 1 to 4) of the special figure 2 random number storage area. The stop symbol information of the special view 2 is stored in each of the storage areas. In the example shown in FIG. 9 (b), "special figure J" (displaced) is stored as stop symbol information in the storage area "hold 1", and stop symbols in the storage areas "hold 2" to "hold 4". Information is not stored. In addition, in FIG.9 (b), the state which stop symbol information is not memorize | stored in the storage area is described as "none."

  FIG. 9C shows an example of a special-purpose look-ahead result storage unit for special view 1 during power support. As shown in FIG. 9C, in the storage area "pending 1", "not determined" information is stored instead of the stop symbol information. In the storage areas "pending 2" to "pending 4", neither stop symbol information nor "not determined" information is stored.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the stop symbol information described above, the propriety determination result, the fluctuation timer number (variation time), the timer group to be described later are determined in advance, and such information is stored in the prefetch result storage unit and the prefetch result It can be transmitted to the first sub control unit 400 as information.

In the case of performing the success or failure judgment of the special figure 1, the fields (high probability field, low) corresponding to the gaming state (special figure high probability state, special figure low probability state) in the success or failure judgment table shown in FIG. The probability field of the special field 1 variation game is selected on the basis of the numerical range indicated by the referred field and the acquired random number value for acceptance determination, with reference to the probability field). In the present embodiment, in the case of the special view 1 change game, a big hit or a break is selected as the result of the pass / fail determination.

  Further, also in the case of performing the qualification determination of the special figure 2, referring to the field corresponding to the gaming state in the qualification table shown in FIG. 10A, the numerical range indicated by the referred field and the acquired random value And select the success / failure determination result of the special figure 2 variation game. In the present embodiment, in the case of the special view 2 change game, a jackpot or an omission is selected as a result of the pass / fail judgment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when “off” is selected as the success / failure determination result in any of the special views 1 and 2, the small hit determination table shown in FIG. 10B is referred and referred to. Based on the numerical value range indicated by the hit determination table and the acquired small hit determination random number value, the success / failure determination result of the special figure small hit lottery is selected.

  In the present embodiment, when the success / failure determination result (lottery result) is in the high probability state, the big hit is selected with a probability of 3278/65536 in both of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, and the probability of 62258/65536 deviates Is selected, and in the case of the low probability state, the jackpot is selected with a probability of 328/65536 and the deviation is selected with a probability of 65208/65536 in both of FIG. 1 and FIG. And, if the result of the judgment of the success or failure, regardless of the game state and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 small hit is selected with the probability of 328/65536, the probability of 65208/65536 deviate (completely Out) is selected.

  Subsequently, when the stop symbol of the special figure 1 is determined, the special figure 1 symbol determination table shown in FIG. 10C is referred to, and based on the success / failure determination result of the special figure 1 and the numerical range of the random number value And select the stop symbol of Special Figure 1. In the present embodiment, when the success or failure determination result of the special view 1 is a big hit, any one of the special view A to the special view F is selected. More specifically, when the success or failure judgment result of the special figure 1 is a big hit, the special figure A is selected with a probability of 10/100, the special figure B is selected with a probability of 10/100, Special figure C is selected by the probability, special figure D is selected with the probability of 10/100, special figure E is selected with the probability of 30/100, and special figure F is selected with the probability of 30/100. That is, in the special figure 1, when it is a big hit, it will be a 15R big hit with a probability of 20%, a 6R big hit with a 20% probability, and a 2R big hit with a 60% probability. Therefore, in Special Figure 1, it can be said that the 2R jackpot is easy to start. Further, when the success / failure determination result of the special view 1 is a small hit, either one of the special view G and the special view H is selected, and when the success / failure result of the special view 1 is a loss, the special view I and One of special images J is selected.

  In addition, when deciding the stop design of the special figure 2, referring to the table for special figure 2 design determination which is shown in figure 10 (d), on the basis of the decision result of special figure 2 and the numerical range of random value , Select the stop symbol of Special Figure 2. In the present embodiment, when the success or failure determination result of the special view 2 is a big hit, any one of the special view A to the special view F is selected. More specifically, when the success or failure judgment result of the special figure 2 is a big hit, the special figure A is selected with a probability of 30/100, the special figure B is selected with a probability of 20/100, and 20/100 Special figure C is selected by probability, special figure D is selected with probability 20/100, special figure E is selected with probability 5/100, and special figure F is selected with probability 5/100. That is, in the special figure 2, when it becomes a big hit, it becomes 15R big hit with 50% probability, it becomes 6R big hit with 40% probability, it becomes 2R big hit with 10% probability. Therefore, in the special figure 2, it can be said that it is easy to be 15R big hit. In addition, special figure 2 is a big hit of 6R or more with a probability of 90%, while special figure 1 is a big hit of 6R or more with a probability of 40%. It can be said that it is better to be a big hit. Further, when the success / failure determination result of the special view 1 is a small hit, either one of the special view G and the special view H is selected, and when the success / failure result of the special view 1 is a loss, the special view I and One of special images J is selected. After the symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined, symbol data to be stopped and displayed on the special view display device is set. In the present embodiment, the selection rate of each symbol is made different between the special view 1 and the special view 2, but the same selection rate may be used.

  Next, the special figure 2 fluctuation time determination table used in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 11A is a view showing an example of the special view 2 fluctuation time determination table, and FIG. 11B is a view showing characters appearing in reach A, FIG. ) Is a figure which shows the character which appears in reach B. FIG. The special drawing 2 fluctuation time determination table is also stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. This special figure 2 fluctuation time determination table is made up of tables 1 to 5. Table 1 is a big hit symbol (special figure A, special figure B) with a special figure 2 decision result of 15R, or a big hit symbol of 6R ( Table 2 is a table used when it is a special figure C, a special figure D), and the table 2 is a special figure 2 determination result 2R big hit symbol (special figure E, special figure F) or small hit symbol (special figure G, special figure Table H is a table used in the case of FIG. H), and Tables 3-5 are tables used when the special figure 2 determination result is a lost design (special figure I, special figure J).

  In each of the tables 1 to 5, the correspondence between the variation time and the random number selection range of the special figure 2 variation time determination random value is defined. Further, in each table shown in FIG. 11A, names of fluctuation patterns representing an effect mode in the decorative symbol display device 208 corresponding to each fluctuation time are also shown for reference. In the present embodiment, the variation time of the special figure and the effect mode of the decorative symbol display device 208 are associated with one to one. The main control unit 300 may determine up to the presentation mode of the decorative symbol display device 208 corresponding to the fluctuation time of the special drawing, but in the present embodiment, the information representing the fluctuation time determined here is It transmits to the control part 400, and the 1st sub control part 400 determines the production | presentation aspect in the decorative symbol display apparatus 208 corresponding to fluctuation time. In the present embodiment, ten types of fluctuation patterns are prepared. These fluctuation patterns include a fluctuation pattern with reach effect and a fluctuation pattern without reach effect. In the present embodiment, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B are prepared as reach effects. With normal reach, in general, two symbol display areas (for example, left and right symbol display areas 208a and 208c shown in FIG. 3) stop and display the same decorative symbol, and one remaining symbol display area (for example, middle symbol display area 208b) If the symbol display area that is variably displayed, ie, the symbol display area that is variably displayed is in a state of reach display (a reach state) is stopped and displayed, a specific big hit symbol This is a state in which the combination ("the combination 1 of decorative symbols" and "the combination 2 of decorative symbols" shown in FIG. 5B) is to be stopped and displayed.

  Super Reach A (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as “reach A”) and Super Reach B (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as “reach B”) produce effects by adding a special variation display to normal reach. It is a kind of reach that improves the effect, and a specific character appears.

  FIG. 11 (b) is a diagram showing characters appearing in reach A, and FIG. 11 (c) is a diagram showing characters appearing in reach B.

  More specifically, as described later, the female boxer character shown in FIG. 11B appears in the middle symbol display area 208b in the reach state in reach state, and the princess character shown in FIG. .

  As the super reach, long reach, normal reverse reach, double line reach and the like are known, and special reach such as special multi line reach, full turn reach and special full turn reach are also known. The term "reach" as used herein means a variation of the decorative pattern including normal reach, super reach and special reach. In this reach, the player is notified that the result of the success / failure determination (lottery drawing) of the special drawing will be the determination result of the hit, after making the success / failure determination and notifying the player of the result of the success / failure determination. Whether or not to reach is determined after making a pass / fail determination. In no reach, the variation time of the special map is relatively short, the super reach is relatively long the variation time of the special map, and in the normal reach, the variation time of the special map is the time between no reach and super reach.

  When the special figure 2 decision result is either of special figure A-special figure D (see table 1), it is the big hit design of 15R or 6R with electric support both, as shown in table 1, 65 The longest variation time of the second is the most likely to be chosen, and the variation time of 15 seconds is the least likely to be chosen. In this case, reach effect is performed in the decorative symbol display device 208, and when the decorative symbol display device 208 is developed into super reach B, the possibility of 15R big hit or 6R big hit becomes high, and it is developed as super reach A. But there will be the possibility of 15R big hit or 6R big hit. That is, the super reach B and the super reach A are reach modes in which the reliability of the 15R big hit and the 6R big hit is higher than that of other reach modes.

  When special figure 2 decision result is 2R big hit design (special figure E, special figure F) and small hit design (special figure G, special figure H) (refer to table 2) fluctuation of 12 seconds uniformly Time is chosen. In this case, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the display is stopped by the combination of the decorative symbols (combination 3 of decorative symbols, combination 4 of decorative symbols) stopped after the fluctuation of no reach, and the background image is once turned off. The so-called chance all off is performed.

  When the special figure 2 determination result is a lost design (special figure I, special figure J), the table used according to the number of reservations of the special figure 2 and whether it is a power support state differs. The CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 determines a table to be used with reference to the time saving flag and the number of reservations of the special view 2 stored in the RAM 308.

  When the special figure 2 determination result is a lost symbol (special figure I, special figure J) and the number of holding of the special support 2 is 1 to 3 in the electric support state, the table 3 is used. In this case, in the power support state, the shortest variation time of 1.5 seconds is uniformly selected in order to accelerate the digestion of the special figure 2, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the reach effect is not performed, and the super shortening variation is performed. Will be done.

  When the special figure 2 determination result is a lost symbol (special figure I, special figure J), and the power support state and the number of reservations of the special figure 2 are 0, the table 4 is used. In this case, in order to save the reserve of the special figure 2, the fluctuation time of 8 seconds which is somewhat long is uniformly selected, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the reach effect is not performed.

  When the special figure 2 determination result is a lost symbol (special figure I, special figure J) and it is in a non-power support state, the table 5 is used regardless of the number of reservations of the special figure 2. In the non-power support state, when there is a prize in the second special figure starting port 232, it is a rare case that it is elected in the popular figure fluctuation game under the common figure low probability state, in special figure 2 priority variable machine The special figure 2 variation game is interrupted and becomes a priority digesting case in the state in which the special figure 1 variation game is performed continuously. In this case, as shown in Table 5, the fluctuation time of 8 seconds (loss without reach) is selected with high probability without shortening or super shortening of the fluctuation time of the special figure 2, and it is a low probability. However, a variation time of 10 seconds, 40 seconds, or 60 seconds may be selected. When the variation time of 10 seconds, 40 seconds, or 60 seconds is selected, the decorative symbol display device 208 performs reach effect.

  Next, the special figure 1 fluctuation time determination table used in the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) in the main control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a special drawing 1 change time determination table. This special drawing 1 fluctuation time determination table is also stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. This special figure 1 fluctuation time determination table is made up of tables 6 to 9, and table 6 is a big hit symbol (special figure A, special figure B) or 6R big hit symbol of special figure 1 determination result is 15R. It is a table used when it is the figure C and the special figure D), and is the same as the contents of the table 1 shown in FIG. The table 7 is a table used when the special figure 1 determination result is the 2R big hit symbol (special figure E, special figure F) or the small hit figure (special figure G, special figure H), as shown in FIG. The contents are the same as the contents of Table 2 shown in 2.).

  Tables 8 and 9 are tables used when the special drawing 1 determination result is a lost design (special drawing I, special drawing J). Even when the special figure 1 determination result is a lost symbol (special figure I, special figure J), the table used differs depending on whether or not it is in the power support state and the number of reservations of the special figure 1.

  When the special figure 1 determination result is a lost symbol (special figure I, special figure J) and the non-power support state and the number of reservations of the special figure 1 are 3, the table 8 is used. In this case, there is a high probability that a short variation time of 3 seconds is selected in order to accelerate the digestion of the special figure 1, and if a variation time of 3 seconds is selected, reach effect is performed in the decorative symbol display device 208 It will not be changed, and a shortening change will be made.

  When the special figure 1 decision result is a lost design (special figure I, special figure J), and the number of reservations of special figure 1 is 0 ~ 2 in the non-power support state or when it is in the power support state (number of holds Table 9 is used for "don't care". This table 9 has the same contents as the contents of the table 5 shown in FIG.

  Next, processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described. FIG. 13A is a flowchart of the main process performed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. First, in step S401 in FIG. 13A, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, first, in step S401, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of storage areas in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S403 following step S401, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, this process is repeated until the timer variable is 10, and when the timer variable is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S405. . In step S405, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S407 following step S405, command processing is performed. The CPU 404 of the first secondary control unit 400 determines whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

  In step S409 following step S407, effect control processing is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S407, processing such as reading out effect data corresponding to this command from the ROM 406 is performed, and if it is necessary to update the effect data, processing for updating the effect data is performed.

  In step S411 following step S409, chance button control processing is performed. In the chance button control process, the operation of the effect button 136 and the operation key unit 137 is detected, and the effect data updated in step S409 according to the detection result is effect data according to the operation of the effect button 136 and the operation key unit 137 Perform processing to change to.

  In step S413 following step S411, sound control processing is performed. In the sound control process, when there is an instruction to the sound source IC 416 in the effect data read out in step S409, this instruction is output to the sound source IC 416.

  In step S415 following step S413, lamp control processing is performed. In the lamp control process, when there is an instruction to the various lamps 442 and 452 in the effect data read in step S409, this instruction is output to the game board lamp drive circuit 440 and the game stand frame lamp drive circuit 450. Do.

  In step S417 following step S415, movable body control processing is performed. For example, when there is an instruction to the effect movable body 224 and the shielding device 246 in the effect data read out in the step S409, this instruction is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S419 following step S417, information transmission processing is performed. In the information transmission process, when there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 in the effect data read out in step S409, the control command is set to be output. Thereafter, the process returns to step S403.

  FIG. 13B is a flowchart of a first secondary control unit command reception interrupt process (strobe interrupt process) executed by the CPU 404 of the first secondary control unit 400. The command reception interrupt process is a process performed when the first secondary control unit 400 detects a strobe signal from the main control unit 300. In step S431 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  FIG. 13C is a flowchart of a first secondary control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first secondary control unit 400. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once in 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. Execute in the cycle of In step S441 of the first secondary control unit timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S403 of the first secondary control unit main process, and the original timer variable storage area is stored. Do. Therefore, in step S403, it is every 20 ms (2 ms × 10) that the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more.

  In step S 443 following step S 441, transmission of control commands to the second sub-control unit 500 set in the information transmission process of the first sub-control unit main process (step S 419), and other processing for updating random numbers for effect Etc.

  Next, processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described. FIG. 14A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU (not shown) of the second sub control unit 500. First, in step S501 of FIG. 14A, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, first, in step S501, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in a RAM (not shown), and the like are performed.

  In step S503 following step S501, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more, this process is repeated until the timer variable is 10, and when the timer variable is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S505. . In step S505, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S507 following step S505, command processing is performed. The CPU of the second secondary control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the first secondary control unit 400.

  In step S509 following step S507, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S507, processing such as reading out effect data (effect data by the decorative symbol display device 208) corresponding to this command from a ROM (not shown) is performed, and the effect data is updated. If it is necessary, the effect data is updated.

  In step S511 following step S509, image control processing is performed. In the image control process, when there is an instruction to the VDP 516 in the effect data read out in step S509, this instruction is output to the VDP 516 (details will be described later). Thereafter, the process returns to step S503.

  FIG. 14B is a flowchart of a command reception interrupt process executed by the CPU of the second secondary control unit 500. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second secondary control unit 500 detects a strobe signal from the first secondary control unit 400. In step S531 of the command reception interrupt process, the command received from the first secondary control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM.

  FIG. 14C is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing executed by the CPU of the second secondary control unit 500. The second secondary control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once in 2 ms in the present embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is triggered when the timer interrupt is triggered. Execute in the cycle of In step S541 of the timer interrupt process, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM described in step S503 of the second sub control unit main process, and the original timer variable storage area is stored. Therefore, in step S503, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S543 following step S541, other processing for updating the effect random number is performed.

  FIG. 14D is a flowchart of the image control process in step S511 of the second sub control unit main process. In step S551, an instruction to transfer image data (movie data and texture data to be described later) is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the drawing areas of the frame buffer 1 and the frame buffer 2 of the VRAM 518. Thereby, the image of one frame stored in the frame buffer not designated in the drawing area is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518), etc. in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table, etc. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on an instruction set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S553 following step S551, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 516 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input (step S553: Yes), the process proceeds to step S555. If not (step S553: No), the process waits for a transfer end interrupt signal to be input.

  In step S555, parameter setting is performed based on the rendering scenario configuration table, the attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the frame buffer 1 or 2 of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S 551, the CPU 504 information of image data constituting the display image (coordinate axis of VRAM 518, image size , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), etc.). The VDP 516 performs parameter setting in accordance with the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S557 following step S555, a drawing instruction is issued. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts image drawing in the frame buffer according to the instruction of the CPU 504.

  In step S559 following step S557, it is determined whether or not the generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 516 is input based on the end of image drawing, and if the generation end interrupt signal is input (step S559: Yes). The process proceeds to step S561, and if not (step S559: No), the process waits for the generation end interrupt signal to be input.

  In step S561, a scene display counter, which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts the number of images of a scene, is incremented (+1), and the process is ended.

  Next, the game nature of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 15 (a) is a view for explaining an outline of the game performance of the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 15 (b) is a view for explaining a game flow.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, in the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment, at least the gaming state 1, the gaming state 2 and the gaming state 3 are configured to be able to shift, and the degree of advantage is different. There is. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the gaming state 1 is a non-power support state, and both the gaming state 2 and the gaming state 3 are power support states. However, the gaming state 2 and the gaming state 3 are different in the number of times of power support given at the time of transition, and the gaming state 3 is more advantageous than the gaming state 2 in terms of the number of times of power support.

  In the present embodiment, based on a certain gaming state, the gaming state to be shifted after the big hit game is different depending on the time when the big hit becomes. That is, when a big hit occurs in a certain gaming state, it shifts to the gaming state 3 after the big hit game is over, and after the certain gaming state is over, it is a special figure being held when the certain gaming state is over If it becomes a big hit in the 2 variable display (remaining hold), it will shift to the game state 2 after the end of the big hit game, and after a certain game state is over, it will be suspended when the certain game state is over Even if the variable display of the special figure 2 which is present is not a big hit, it is configured to shift to the gaming state 1. That is, in the present embodiment, even if a certain gaming state is ended, if there is a hold remaining at that time, if there is a big hit in the symbol variation display based on the hold, the end of the big hit game It is characterized in that it shifts to a gaming state that will be advantageous later. Here, in the present embodiment, the certain gaming state indicates the power-supporting state (that is, the gaming state 2 or the gaming state 3), but it may be, for example, a definite variation state. Also, a certain gaming state may be gaming state 2 or gaming state 3 or gaming state 1 or any other gaming state (for example, The game state 3 may be a power support state (which may be referred to as a game state 4) or the like in which the number of power support times is different.

  Next, a game flow in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment starts from the gaming state 1 as the non-power support state first. Note that the gaming state 1 may be a special figure low probability state or a special figure high probability state. And, in the game state 1, when the result of the variable display of the special figure is any of the special figure A-the special figure F, that is, when it becomes the big hit, after the end of the big hit game, one of the power support state It shifts to the game state 3 as one. In this case, since the game state 1 (non-power support state) is a big hit (first time big hit), the number of times of power support given when the game state 3 shifts is 10 times. Further, in the present embodiment, after the end of the big hit game, since it is in the special figure high probability state (ST) until the variable display of the special figure is performed 14 times, the chance of becoming a big hit in the gaming state 3 is increased. Since the gaming state 3 is in the power-on state, hitting the right makes it easy to win the second special view start port 232, and the variable display of the special view 2 is mainly performed. And, if it becomes a big hit in the gaming state 3, after the big hit game is over, it shifts to the gaming state 3 again, but in this case, it became a big hit in the electric support (so), so in the gaming state 3 The number of charge assistances given when transitioning is 100 times. Therefore, the chance of becoming a big hit is dramatically increased as compared with the case of shifting to the gaming state 3 from the first big hit.

  On the other hand, after transitioning to gaming state 3, when the variable display of the special drawing with the number of times of electric support (10 times or 100 times) given is performed, the electric support state (general drawing high probability state) is ended (electric support omission) ), And transition to gaming state 1. However, when the variable display of the special view 2 is suspended during the execution of the variable display of the last special view in the gaming state 3, this may be maintained even after the transition to the gaming state 1. That is, even after the suspension of the special view 2 shifts to the gaming state 1, there may be a case where it remains. For example, after transitioning to the gaming state 3 to which the number of times of power support is given 10 times, when the variable display of 10 times of the special figure ends, the suspension of the special figure 2 may remain up to four. The present embodiment is characterized in that it is advantageous in the case of a big hit in the variable display of the special view based on the remaining reservation in this way than in the case of the first big hit. In the present embodiment, it is more advantageous for the special figure 2 to be a big hit than the special figure 1 to be a big hit. That the big hit in Special Figure 2 is more advantageous than the big hit in Special Figure 1 means, for example, that the average of the winning balls that can be expected in one big hit is greater in the big hit in Special Figure 2 than in Special Figure 1 There are many things and things with many real balls. The profit obtained when the special figure 1 is the big hit and the profit obtained when the special figure 2 is the big hit may be the same. In the present embodiment, for example, the probability of becoming a big hit of six rounds or more when becoming a big hit in special figure 2 is higher than the probability of becoming a big hit of six rounds or more when becoming a big hit in special figure 1. The special figure 2 can be said to be advantageous over the special figure 1.

  That is, when it becomes a big hit in the fluctuation display of the special figure based on the above-mentioned remaining reservation, it shifts to the game state 2 as one of the power support state after the end of the big hit game. In this case, the number of times of charge support is 14 times. That is, the number of times of ST and the number of times of power support match. On the other hand, when it does not become a big hit by the fluctuation display of the special figure based on the above-mentioned remaining reservation, gaming state 1 is maintained, but even if it becomes a big hit here, it does not shift to gaming state 2, As the first big hit, after the end of the big hit game, it moves to the game state 3 where the number of times of power support is 10 times.

  In addition, when it becomes big hit in game state 2, after the big hit game ends, it moves to game state 3, but also in this case it moves to game state 3 assuming that it becomes big hit (intersecution) during power support. The number of times of charge support is 100 when it is done.

  On the other hand, after the transition to the gaming state 2, when the variable display of the special figure of the number of times of charge support (14 times) is given, the charge support state (general drawing high probability state) is ended (power supply omission), Transition to gaming state 1 is made. Also here, as described above, when the reserve of the special view 2 remains, it is possible to shift to the gaming state 2 on condition that the big hit is made in the variable display of the special view based on the reserve.

  Next, a specific example of the effect performed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a view showing in stages an example of effects based on the decorative symbol display device 208 of the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 16, a decorative symbol display device 208, a first special view display device 212, a second special view display device 214, a special view 1 reserve lamp 218 and a special view 2 reserve lamp 220 are shown. In addition, illustration is abbreviate | omitted to the normal symbol display apparatus 210 and the common drawing reservation lamp 216. FIG.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 16A, the combination of the decorative symbols of "decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6" is stopped and displayed. Although the background here is hidden, a default background image is displayed. Also in the following description, when the background is hidden, a default background image is displayed unless otherwise specified. Note that various background images different from the default background image (for example, a background image according to the mode, etc.) may be displayed.

  The special symbol 1 fourth symbol t1 and the special symbol 2 fourth symbol t2 are displayed on the upper right corner of the decorative symbol display device 208. The special figure 1 fourth symbol t1 informs whether or not the special figure 1 is in a variable display mode, and informs the stop figure of the special figure 1. The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 notifies whether or not the special figure 2 is in the variable display mode, and informs the stop figure of the special figure 2. When the special figure 1 is in the variable display, the special figure 1 fourth symbol t1 blinks, for example, the symbol of "-", and when the special figure 2 is in the variable display, the special figure 2 fourth For example, the symbol t1 blinks the symbol "-". As described above, the player may be able to determine which of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 is being variably displayed by looking at the fourth symbol at a glance. The preview notice may be made by changing the display mode, the lighting mode or the blinking mode of the fourth symbol.

  In the decorative symbol display device 208, a hold icon representing the hold of the special view 1 is displayed at the lower left corner, and three variation displays of the special view 1 are held at the timing shown in FIG. Therefore, three hold icons h11 to h13 are displayed. The number of reservations of the special view 1 is also represented by the number of suspension icons of the special view 1 in addition to the number of lighting of the special view 1 suspension lamp 218. That is, the hold icon corresponds to the start information stored in the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. Hereinafter, the hold icon corresponding to the oldest start information (oldest winning) may be referred to as a first hold icon, and the hold icon corresponding to the second oldest start information may be referred to as a second hold icon. The hold icons h11 to h13 of the special view 1 are displayed side by side, and the hold icon on the left side becomes the hold icon whose winning is older.

  In FIG. 16A, three reserved icons h11 to h13 of the special drawing 1 are displayed, and the reserved icons h11 to h13 of the three special drawings 1 are all displayed in the default display mode (round no It is displayed in a pattern and white display mode). That is, the default hold icon of Special Figure 1 is a round hold icon.

  On the other hand, the hold icon indicating the hold of Special Figure 2 is not displayed. This is because, as described above, the control state (playing state) shown in FIG. 16 is the non-power support state (non-short time state), it is difficult to open the electric chute and it is difficult to win the second special view starting opening 232 It is because it is a state.

  In this embodiment, the start of the symbol variation display of the special figure is a row in the order of the variation start in the special figure display device → the blinking start or extinguishing of the fourth symbol → the movement animation start or deletion of the hold icon → the variation start of the decoration symbol Although this order may be reversed.

  In FIG. 16B, the variable display of the special view 1 is started, and the symbol change in the first special view display device 212 is started. Then, the variable display of the special figure 1 fourth symbol t1 is started, and one reserved icon is erased. Subsequently, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started.

  FIG. 16C shows a state in which the variation display of the special view 1 is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6D, “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed as the first stop symbol in the left symbol display area 208a, and then, as shown in FIG. 6E, the right symbol display area 208c is displayed. The "decoration 8" is stopped and displayed as the second stop symbol, and then, as shown in FIG. 6F, the "decoration 2" is stopped and displayed as the third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b. The pattern is fluctuating.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 16 (g), when the fluctuation period has elapsed, the first special view display device 212 stops and displays “special view I” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the fluctuation variation of the decorative symbol is finished and the decorative symbol -Display stopped by decoration 8 ", and special display 1 4th pattern t1 is stopped and displayed by the symbol of" x "which shows that it is a loss.

  And as shown in FIG.16 (h), the fluctuation display of the special figure 1 is started in the point shown to the figure (b)-the figure (c). Thereafter, as shown in (i) of the figure, “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed as the first stop symbol in the left symbol display area 208a, and then, as shown in (j) of the figure, the right symbol display area 208c "Decoration 3" is stopped and displayed as a second stop pattern. Then, as shown in the same figure (k), in the decorative symbol display device 208, since the left and right decorative symbols are aligned with "decoration 3" and the reach state is formed, it notifies that the reach has been reached, and reach effect Is started.

  After the reach effect is started and, for example, a predetermined normal reach effect is performed, as shown in FIG. 16 (l), the decorative symbol display device 208 shows a state of developing into a super reach (punching reach). ing. This super reach corresponds to, for example, the reach B described above. In the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 16 (l), the main character of the protagonist and the swordsman of the enemy appear, and animation of the duel scene is started.

  In FIG. 16 (m), the animation of the duel scene continues. Then, in the decorative symbol display device 208, an operation promotion notification image 136P prompting the user to press the effect button 136 is displayed. The operation promotion notification image 136P is configured to include an image imitating the effect button 136 as well as character display of “Push” prompting the user to press the effect button 136. In FIG. 16 (m), the animation display in which the image simulating the effect button 136 vibrates is performed, and it is shown that the reliability to the big hit is considerably high. At this time, the effect button 136 vibrates by driving the vibration motor. Here, there may be a case where display of an image imitating the effect button 136 which is not vibrating may be performed. In this case, a big hit is performed than when a display of an image imitating the effect button 136 which is vibrating is performed. It may represent low reliability. In addition to the operation promotion notification image 136P, a remaining time display bar may be displayed to indicate the operation valid period of the effect button 136.

  Thereafter, when the vibrating effect button 136 is pressed by the player at the timing shown in FIG. 16 (n), as shown in FIG. 16 (o), the cut-in image is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 208. The superimposed sound is displayed on the front side of the animation of the duel scene, and a warning sound is output from the speaker 120. The player may be able to recognize that the expectation to the jackpot is high by looking at this effect. Note that the timing of the output of the cut-in image and the warning sound may be simultaneous, or the warning sound may be output after the cut-in image is displayed, or the cut-in is performed after the warning sound is output. An image may be displayed.

  After that, as a result of animation of the duel scene being continued, as shown in FIG. 16 (p), on the decorative symbol display device 208, a message indicating that the main character of the main character has won the swordsman of the enemy character is displayed and it becomes a big hit "Notice 3" is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display area 208b as a third stop symbol.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (q), in the decorative symbol display device 208, the animation of the duel scene is finished and switched to the default background image, and the combination of the decorative symbols of "decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3" Fluctuations at are displayed. In addition, the display of the hold icon that was deleted while the subversive reach was being performed is resumed with the switching to the default background image. When the animation of the duel scene is switched to the default background image, the fourth pattern may be left and all may be temporarily hidden. Also, a background image different from the default background image may be displayed. Also, the hold icon may not be displayed when the animation of the duel scene is finished and the background image is switched.

  After that, at the timing shown in FIG. 16 (r), the first special view display device 212 displays the finalized image with the special view A, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. The combination of the decoration pattern of 15R big hit decision is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 1 fourth symbol t1, it is informed that the special figure 1 is stopped and displayed with the special figure A.

  FIG. 17: is a figure which shows sequentially the example of an effect shown in FIG. 16 in steps.

  In FIG. 17 (a) continued from FIG. 16 (r), a big hit start effect is performed indicating that the 15R big hit game has been started. At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "decorative 3-decorative 3-decorative 3", which is a combination of decorative symbols at the time of a big hit, is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen and In the upper part, a right-handed display for instructing the player to hit the right is displayed.

  Thereafter, when the jackpot start effect is finished and it proceeds to the first round, as shown in FIG. 17B, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays that it is the first round of the jackpot game. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, a display indicating the number of winning balls since the start of the first jackpot is displayed, and at the timing shown in FIG. Since each game ball has won the variable winning opening 234, it means that ten winning balls obtained by multiplying the number of winning balls (10) for winning in the variable winning port 234 by the number of winnings (one) "10get" is displayed to indicate. Although the number of winning balls indicates the number of winning balls obtained by winning in the variable winning hole 234, the number obtained by subtracting the number of firing balls may be displayed, or the other winning holes may be displayed. It may be displayed including the number of winning balls obtained by winning.

  FIG. 17C shows the contents of the effect in the seventh round. At the timing shown in FIG. 17C, since 61 gaming balls have won the variable winning opening 234 since the start of the big hit, the number of winning balls (10) × number of winnings (61) is 610 Display of "710 get" indicating that the winning ball has been acquired is performed. Note that, from the timing shown in FIG. 17B, between the timings shown in FIG. 17C, two gaming balls are won in the second special view start opening 232, and in the special view 2 reserve lamp 220. The two reserve lamps are on, and it is indicated that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is suspended for two times.

  FIG. 17D shows the contents of the effect in the 15th round (the final round). As shown in FIG. 17 (d), in the decorative symbol display device 208, 150 gaming balls have won the variable winning opening 234 since the start of the big hit, so the number of winning balls (10) × number of winnings The display of “1500 get” is displayed, which indicates that 1500 balls have been won. Further, at the timing shown in FIG. 17D, the variable winning opening 234 changes to the closed state because ten gaming balls have won since the start of the fifteenth round. In the meantime, one gaming ball further wins the second special view start opening 232 during the timing shown in FIG. 17 (d) from the timing shown in FIG. 17 (c), and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 In the figure, three reserve lamps are on, and it is indicated that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is suspended for three times.

  After that, when the fifteenth round is finished, the end effect of the big hit game is performed in a mode as shown in FIG. 17 (e). As described above, since the big hit this time is the first big hit, after the big hit game is over, until the fluctuation display of the special figure is performed 10 times (10 times electric support) electric support state (gaming state 3) Migrate to It can also be said that the gaming state 3 to be shifted this time is the power support state of 10 times of power support. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, it becomes special figure high probability state until fluctuation indication of special figure is done 14 times. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17 (e), in the decorative symbol display device 208, when it becomes a big hit in the power support state of 10 times of power support, it is indicated that there is a possibility of shifting to a more advantageous gaming state The wording "Super chance if hit within 10 turns" is displayed. Specifically, when a big hit occurs in the 10 times of power support state, after the end of the big hit game, it will shift to the 100% power support state. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, display of the number of winning balls is continued. In addition, right-handed indication is continued. Further, from the timing shown in FIG. 17 (d) to the timing shown in FIG. 17 (e), one gaming ball is further won in the second special view start opening 232, and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 In, the four holding lamps are on, and it is indicated that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is held for four times (ie, full for the holding).

  The periods of FIG. 17 (f) to FIG. 17 (l) surrounded by broken lines in FIG.

  When the big hit game is finished as described above, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), in the state of being stopped and displayed by the combination of the decoration symbols of "decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3" in the decoration symbol display device 208, It changes to the power support state with definite change. At this time, the remaining number of times "remaining 10 times" is displayed, which is the number of remaining symbol variations until the power support state ends. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, one reserved icon h11 of the special figure 1 and four reserved icons h21 to h24 of the special figure 2 are displayed, and these reserved icons h11 and h21 to h24 are all default. Are displayed in the display mode (round non-pattern and white display mode). In the decorative symbol display device 208, the right-handed display has ended, but for example, the right-handed instruction may be continued by turning on a predetermined right-handed lamp, or the right-handed display is ended. You may not do. In the power support state, the hold icon of the special view 1 may not be displayed. In addition, even after the power-on state is started, the display of the number of winning balls may be continued.

  Thereafter, the special figure 2 is started to change in priority to the special figure 1, so as shown in FIG. 17 (g), the special figure 2 is set as shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). The variable display of is started.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (h), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 has passed, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop with “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (i), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). At this time, the remaining number display indicates "9 remaining" indicating that the power support state is 9 remaining. At the timing shown in FIG. 17I, it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is two.

  FIG. 17 (j) shows a state when the variation display of the ninth special view is finished after the big hit game is finished. That is, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is the display result of the loss, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the stop display is displayed with "decorative 1-decorative 2-decorative 6" as the decorative symbol. In the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is made with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss. At this time, the remaining number display is "remaining 2 times" indicating that the power support state is the remaining 2 times including the variable display of the present special drawing. At the timing shown in FIG. 17 (j), it is shown that the number of reservations in Special Figure 2 is three.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 17 (k), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). In addition, since the variation display of this special figure is the 10th after the big hit game is over, when the variation display of this special figure is finished, the character display of "last" indicating that the power support state is finished is displayed. It is displayed at the upper center of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 as the remaining number display.

  FIG. 17 (l) shows a state when the variation display of the 10th special view is finished after the big hit game is finished. That is, the situation when the variable display of the last special drawing in the power support state is finished is shown. Specifically, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is a display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6". The stop display is performed, and in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is performed with a symbol of “x” indicating that there is a loss. At this time, the character display of "last" as the remaining number display is continuously displayed. In the timing shown in FIG. 17 (l), it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is two.

  As described above, when the power support state ends, the power support state as the gaming state 3 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 17 (m) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. Also in this case, the variable display of Special Figure 2 is started prior to Special Figure 1. When it shifts to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in Figure 17 (m), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. In addition, in the gaming state of the special view, the special figure high probability state is maintained until the variation display of the symbol is performed four more times.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the result of the variation display of the symbol based on the suspension of the special view 2 remaining at the end of the power support state is a big hit, after the end of the big hit, the gaming state It is comprised so that the privilege of shifting to the power support state as 2 may be provided.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 17 (n), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 has passed, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop at “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (o), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 as shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). In the timing shown in FIG. 17 (o), it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is 0. That is, the variable display of the special view 2 of this time is the variable display of the symbol which is the last chance to shift to the gaming state 2.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (p), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 elapses, the second special view display device 214 stops and displays “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 4-decoration 1-decoration 6" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  After that, the gaming state is still the gaming state 1, but there is no chance of transitioning to the gaming state 2 even if it becomes a big hit. That is, it shifts to the initial game state 1 or the normal state. In addition, in this embodiment, when the result of the fluctuation display of the symbol based on the reservation of the special figure 2 which remains when the power support state ends is a big hit, it shifts to the gaming state 2, and the power support state is finished. Even when the result of the symbol variation display based on the suspension of the special figure 1 which remains in the case becomes a big hit, it is configured to shift to the gaming state 1 without shifting to the gaming state 2, but the power support state ends In addition to the reserve of special figure 2 which remains when you do, it shifts to game state 2 also when the result of the fluctuation indication of the design which is based on the reserve of special figure 1 which remains when electric support state ends is big hit It may be configured to be able to

  Also, in the present embodiment, for example, the variation time in the variation display (the final variation of electricity support) of the last symbol of the power assistance state may be a variation time dedicated to the last variation of electricity support, or only for the last variation of electricity support. You may make it produce. In addition, there may be cases where it is possible to execute prefetching of the special figure 2 in the period until the symbol variation display based on the suspension of the special figure 2 that remains when the electric support state or the electric support state ends is digested. In the variable display of symbols in such a period, a special effect or an effect using a special fluctuation time may be performed, or there may be an effect generated only in such a period.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, another example of effects in the power support state will be described. Here, FIG. 18 is a view showing the continuation of an example of the effect shown in FIG. 17 (d) in stages. In addition, since FIG.18 (a)-the same figure (c) are the same as that of FIG.17 (e)-the same figure (g), description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 18 (d) continued from FIG. 18 (c), “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed in each of the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, a reach state is formed, and reach effect is started . Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18E, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the push effect is started, and the operation promotion notification image 136P is displayed. The operation promotion notification image 136P is configured to include an animation in which an image simulating the effect button 136 vibrates, as well as character display of “press” prompting the user to press the effect button 136. FIG. 18E shows that the reliability to the big hit is high by displaying an image simulating the effect button 136 in a large size. At this time, the effect button 136 vibrates by driving the vibration motor. Here, there may be a case where display of an image imitating the effect button 136 which is not vibrating may be performed. In this case, a big hit is performed than when a display of an image imitating the effect button 136 which is vibrating is performed. It may represent low reliability. In addition to the operation promotion notification image 136P, a remaining time display bar may be displayed to indicate the operation valid period of the effect button 136.

  Then, at the timing shown in FIG. 18 (f), when the vibrating effect button 136 is pressed by the player, as shown in FIG. 18 (g), the shielding device 246 is driven to form a lattice. The left door 246a and the right door 246b move to positions close to each other to be in a closed state, and the display state of the decorative symbol display device 208 is difficult to visually recognize. In the present embodiment, when the shielding device 246 is in the closed state, it is notified that a big hit will be made. The player may be able to recognize that the big hit is derived and displayed by looking at this.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 18 (h), the left door 246a and the right door 246b of the shielding device 246 move to a position where they are separated from each other to be opened, and the display state of the decorative symbol display device 208 is easily visible. . At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "decoration 3" is largely displayed at the center of the display screen as a third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b, and is fluctuating.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 18 (i), the second special view display device 212 displays the final image in the special view B, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays 15R of “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. The combination of the decorative symbols of the big hit decision is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, it is informed that the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed in the special figure B.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (j), in the decorative symbol display device 208, a big hit start effect of 15 R big hit game having started is performed. At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 28, "decorative 3-decorative 3-decorative 3", which is a combination of decorative symbols at the time of a big hit, is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen and In the upper part, a right-handed display for instructing the player to hit the right is displayed. In this case, since the player has already made a right strike in the power-on state, the player may not have to make a right strike again.

  FIG. 18 (k) shows the contents of the effect in the second round. At the timing shown in FIG. 18 (k), 15 gaming balls have won the variable winning opening 234 since the start of the current big hit, so the number of winning balls obtained by winning the variable winning opening 234 is 150. It becomes an individual. Then, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 18 (k), since the number of winning balls obtained in the present big hit is added to the number of winning balls obtained in the first big hit, the display showing the number of winning balls is displayed As “1650 get” is displayed. Further, in FIG. 18 (k), a bancho character is displayed on the right side of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208. As a result of performing the look-ahead of Special Figure 2 as described above, this Bancho character informs that there is a possibility that the variation display of the symbol that will be a big hit is included in the suspension of Special Figure 2 as a result of prefetching. is there. In addition, it may be notified that it is decided that the fluctuation display of the symbol which becomes a big hit is held in the suspension of the special figure 2 by displaying the character of the leader. In other words, it may be notified that the holding group is decided.

  FIG. 18 (l) shows the contents of the effect in the 15th round (the final round). As shown in FIG. 18 (l), in the decorative symbol display device 208, 150 gaming balls have won the variable winning opening 234 since the start of the big hit, so an award obtained by winning the variable winning opening 234 The number of balls is 1,500. Then, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 18 (l), since the number of winning balls obtained in the current big hit is added to the number of winning balls obtained in the first big hit, a display showing the number of winning balls is obtained. As "3000 get" is displayed. Further, at the timing shown in FIG. 18 (l), the variable winning opening 234 changes to the closed state since ten gaming balls have won since the start of the fifteenth round.

  After that, when the fifteenth round is finished, the end effect of the big hit game is performed in a mode as shown in FIG. 18 (m). As mentioned above, since the present big hit is a big hit generated during the power support, after the end of the big hit game, the power support state continues until the variation display of the special view is performed 100 times (power support 100 times). It shifts to (playing state 3). It can also be said that the gaming state 3 to be shifted this time is the power support state of the power support 100 times. In addition, after the end of the big hit game, it becomes special figure high probability state until fluctuation indication of special figure is done 14 times. That is, after the end of the big hit game, until the 14th variation display of the symbol is performed, it becomes the special figure high probability common drawing high probability state, and the variation display of the 100th symbol from the 15th variation display of the symbol Until it is known, the special figure low probability spread figure high probability state. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18 (m), in the decorative symbol display device 208, character display of “super chance rush” and “100 rotation” indicating that the power is shifted to the power support state 100 times is performed. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, display of the number of winning balls is continued. In addition, right-handed indication is continued.

  As described above, when the big hit game is over, as shown in FIG. 18 (n), in the state of being stopped and displayed by the combination of the decorative symbols of “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3” in the decorative symbol display device 208, It changes to the power support state with definite change. At this time, the remaining number display of "remaining 100 times" which is the number of remaining symbol variations until the power support state ends is displayed. Further, in the decorative symbol display device 208, one reserved icon h11 for the special view 1 and three reserved icons h21 to h23 for the special view 2 are displayed, and these reserved icons h11 and h21 to h23 are all default. Are displayed in the display mode (round non-pattern and white display mode). In the decorative symbol display device 208, the right-handed display has ended, but for example, the right-handed instruction may be continued by turning on a predetermined right-handed lamp, or the right-handed display is ended. You may not do. In the power support state, the hold icon of the special view 1 may not be displayed. In addition, even after the power-on state is started, the display of the number of winning balls may be continued.

  After that, the special figure 2 starts to change in priority to the special figure 1, so as shown in FIG. 18 (o), the special figure 2 is displayed in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). The variable display of is started. Further, at this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, a character display of "in the middle of a definite change" indicating that it is a special drawing high probability state is displayed in the lower right portion of the display screen. This display is continuously displayed until the variation display of 14 times of the symbol which is the number of times of ST ends. It should be noted that the display of "during change" may not be performed, or instead of the character display of "due change", other display may be performed, for example, displaying a character or changing the background color. You may

  FIG. 18 (p) shows that the variation display of the symbol is finished at the 14th time after the big hit game is over, and the state of being fixedly displayed by the display result of the loss is shown. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the transition to the special figure low probability state is made after the 14th variable display of the symbol is finished, the character display of "in a definite change" is erased. It should be noted that the display of characters such as "time saving" or "power saving" may be performed along with the deletion of the character display of "during change".

  After that, as shown in FIG. 18 (q), the special figure 2 is started to change in priority to the special figure 1, so as shown in FIG. 18 (o), FIG. The variation display of the special figure 2 is started as shown in).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, another presentation example in the power support state will be described. Here, FIG. 19 is a view showing the continuation of an example of the effect shown in FIG. 17 (d) in stages. 19 (a) to FIG. 19 (c) are the same as FIG. 17 (e) to FIG. 19 (g), and FIG. 19 (d) to FIG. 19 (e) are FIG. 17 (j) to FIG. The description is omitted because it is the same as (k).

  FIG. 19F shows the state when the variation display of the tenth special view is finished after the big hit game is finished. That is, the situation when the variable display of the last special drawing in the power support state is finished is shown. Specifically, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is a display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6". The stop display is performed, and in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is performed with a symbol of “x” indicating that there is a loss. At this time, the character display of "last" as the remaining number display is continuously displayed. 19 (f) from the timing shown in FIG. 19 (e), two gaming balls are won in the second special view start opening 232, and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 is selected. , Four reserve lamps are on, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, four reserve icons h21 to h24 of the special figure 2 are displayed accordingly, and the special figure 2 has four reserve numbers. It is shown that there is.

  As described above, when the power support state ends, the power support state as the gaming state 3 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 19 (g) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. Also in this case, the variable display of Special Figure 2 is started prior to Special Figure 1. When transitioning to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in FIG. 19 (g), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. It should be noted that the left-handed display may be erased after being displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) after transitioning to the non-power support state (playing state 1), or transition to the non-power support state It may be displayed until the first variation display of the symbol is finished, or it may be displayed until it is detected that the gaming ball has flowed down on the left side of the game area 124, or the first special view is started. The game ball may be displayed on the mouth 230 until the game ball is won. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "Petitize in progress" is displayed to indicate that the variation display of Special Figure 2 is in process of being digested based on the suspension when the power supply state is ended. When a big hit occurs in "during a chance," it is informed that there is a chance to shift to the game state 2. In the present embodiment, the specification of ST14 times is used, and the special figure high probability state is maintained until the remaining four times the variable display of symbols is performed, but as the specification of ST10 times When the power saving state ends, the state of the special figure may be shifted to the special figure low probability state.

  In FIG. 19 (h) following FIG. 19 (g), “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed in each of the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, a reach state is formed, and reach effect is started . Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19I, in the decorative symbol display device 208, a push effect is started, and the above-described operation promotion notification image 136P is displayed.

  Then, when the vibrating effect button 136 is pressed by the player at the timing shown in FIG. 19 (j), as shown in FIG. 19 (k), the shielding device 246 is driven to form a lattice. The left door 246a and the right door 246b move to positions close to each other to be in a closed state, and the display state of the decorative symbol display device 208 is difficult to visually recognize.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19 (l), the left door 246a and the right door 246b of the shielding device 246 are moved to the separated position to be opened, and the display state of the decorative symbol display device 208 is easily viewed. . At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "decoration 3" is largely displayed at the center of the display screen as a third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b, and is fluctuating.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (m), the second special view display device 212 displays the final image in the special view B, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays 15R of “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. The combination of the decorative symbols of the big hit decision is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, it is informed that the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed in the special figure B.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (n), in the decorative symbol display device 208, a big hit start effect is produced informing that the 15R big hit game has been started. At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 28, "decorative 3-decorative 3-decorative 3", which is a combination of decorative symbols at the time of a big hit, is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen and In the upper part, a right-handed display for instructing the player to hit the right is displayed. In this case, the player has made a left hit because the player was in the non-power support state, and the player may come to the right by visually recognizing the right hit display.

  FIG. 19 (o) shows that the end effect of the big hit game is performed after the 15th round is completed. As described above, since the current big hit is a big hit in the variable display of the special figure 2 held at the end of the power support state, after the end of the big hit game, the variable display of the special figure It shifts to the power support state (playing state 2) which continues until 14 times (power support 14 times) are performed. That is, in the gaming state 2, a period in which the special figure high probability state is in agreement with a period in which the power-supply state occurs. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19 (o), in the decorative symbol display device 208, it is possible to shift to a more advantageous gaming state if it becomes a big hit in the power support state of 14 times of power support. The wording "Super chance if hit within 14 turns" is displayed. Specifically, if a big hit occurs in the power support state of 14 times of power support, after the end of the big hit game, it will shift to the power support state of 100 times of power support. In addition, the number of times of power support in the gaming state 2 is not limited to that described above and can be set as appropriate, and may not necessarily coincide with the period of being in the special figure high probability state. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, the display of the number of winning balls is continued. In this case, since the number of winning balls obtained in the present big hit is added to the number of winning balls obtained in the first big hit, display of “3000 get” is performed as a display indicating the number of winning balls. That is, in the present embodiment, even if a big hit occurs during a petit chance, it is also treated as a continuous house. In the case of a big hit during the petit chance, the display of the number of winning balls may be reset as the first big hit. Further, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 19 (o), a right-handed display is also continued. Further, from the timing shown in FIG. 19 (n) to the timing shown in FIG. 19 (o), one gaming ball is further won in the second special view start opening 232, and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 In, the four holding lamps are on, and it is indicated that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is held for four times (ie, full for the holding).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, another example of effects in the power support state will be described. Here, FIG. 20 is a view showing the continuation of an example of the effect shown in FIG. 17 (d) step by step. In addition, since Fig.20 (a)-the same figure (c) are the same as Fig.19 (a)-the same figure (c), description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 20 (d) shows the state when the variation display of the ninth special view is finished after the big hit game is over. That is, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is the display result of the loss, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the stop display is displayed with "decorative 1-decorative 2-decorative 6" as the decorative symbol. In the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is made with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss. At this time, the remaining number display is "remaining 2 times" indicating that the power support state is the remaining 2 times including the variable display of the present special drawing. At the timing shown in FIG. 20 (d), it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is two.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 20 (e), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). In addition, since the variation display of this special figure is the 10th after the big hit game is over, when the variation display of this special figure is finished, the character display of "last" indicating that the power support state is finished is displayed. It is displayed at the upper center of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 as the remaining number display.

  FIG. 20 (f) shows a state when the variation display of the 10th special view is finished after the big hit game is finished. That is, the situation when the variable display of the last special drawing in the power support state is finished is shown. Specifically, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is a display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6". The stop display is performed, and in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is performed with a symbol of “x” indicating that there is a loss. At this time, the character display of "last" as the remaining number display is continuously displayed. At the timing shown in FIG. 17 (l), it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is one.

  As described above, when the power support state ends, the power support state as the gaming state 3 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 20 (g) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. Also in this case, the variable display of Special Figure 2 is started prior to Special Figure 1. When it shifts to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in Figure 20 (g), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "Petitize in progress" is displayed to indicate that the variation display of Special Figure 2 is in process of being digested based on the suspension when the power supply state is ended. When a big hit occurs in "during a chance," it is informed that there is a chance to shift to the game state 2.

  FIG. 20 (h) shows that the variation display of the symbol shown in FIG. 20 (g) is being performed continuously. It should be noted that, from the timing shown in FIG. 20 (g) to the timing shown in FIG. 20 (h), one gaming ball is won in the second special view starting opening 232, and in the special view 2 holding lamp 220. , One holding lamp is on, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, accordingly, one holding icon h21 of the special figure 2 is displayed, and the number of holdings of the special figure 2 is one. It is shown. That is, when the gaming state shifts from gaming state 3 to gaming state 1 after long opening of electric power chew is started in gaming state 3, the electric power chewing long opening may continue even after the transition to gaming state 1 is there. In such a situation, the game ball may win a prize in the second special view start port 232 after shifting to the gaming state 1. In this effect example, even when the gaming ball has won the second special view starting opening 232 during the petit chance and the variable display of the special view 2 is suspended, it becomes a big hit based on the fluctuation display of the suspended symbol. When it is determined, the game state 2 can be entered.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 20 (i), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 has passed, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop at “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 3-decoration 2-decoration 8" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 20 (j), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). Moreover, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the character display of "in the middle of a petit chance" is continuously performed.

  In FIG. 20 (k) following FIG. 20 (j), “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed in each of the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, and a reach state is formed, and reach effect is started . After that, as shown in FIG. 20 (l), in the decorative symbol display device 208, "decoration 3" is derived and displayed as a third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b, and it is swaying while being displayed in the center of the display doing.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 20 (m), the second special view display device 212 displays the final image in the special view B, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays 15R of “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. The combination of the decorative symbols of the big hit decision is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, it is informed that the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed in the special figure B. Thereafter, the effects are performed as shown in FIG. 20 (n) to FIG. 20 (o), but since these effects are the same as FIG. 19 (n) to FIG. 19 (o), the detailed description is omitted. Do.

  In the present embodiment, for example, when the fluctuation time in the fluctuation display of the last symbol in the power support state (the fluctuation display of the 10th special figure 2 after the big hit end) is taken as a long time (for example, 10 seconds) In the state of '', it is possible to perform more variable display of symbols, so it may be possible to enhance the gameplay.

  However, depending on the specification of the game, the number of times of the variable display of the symbol in the state of "petit chance" is excessively given, which may result in jealousy, resulting in an undesirable situation.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 21, an undesirable example as a game specification will be described. FIG. 21 is a timing chart to explain an example of the operation in the effect example shown in FIG. In order to facilitate the explanation, in the explanation in FIG. 21, the number of times of power support in the power support state is five.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the big hit game ends at the timing of t0, the non-power support state is shifted to the power support state. And, for example, the game state before the big hit game is started is the power support state, and at the end of the big hit game, the special figure 2 has already been put on hold by four. Therefore, when the big hit game is over, the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1. The fluctuation time of the special figure 2 in the power support state is the fluctuation display of the symbol performed before the fluctuation display of the last symbol in the power support state (for example, in FIG. 21, the first to fourth symbols after the end of the big hit game In the variable display of), it is assumed that the fluctuation time is very short (for example, 0.5 seconds). On the other hand, the common drawing can enjoy the benefits as the power support state (for example, shortening of the fluctuation time, opening of the power long, improvement of the winning probability, etc.) for the variable display started after shifting to the power support state. Then, in the example shown in FIG. 21, when it comes to the pervasive state in the power-supply state, the power-tuned time is, for example, a short time of 0.5 seconds, and then the closing time T (for example, 1.5 seconds). ), And then open for a long time (for example, 5 seconds). In addition, the opening time and closing time of electric chow can be set arbitrarily.

  Therefore, when the big hit game is over, four variable displays by Special Figure 2 are performed in a very short time, and as a result, four special views before the opening of a long time when the electric chow can be won is started. The variable display of 2 is digested. After that, when the opening of the electric chow for a long time is started, many game balls are won, and the fifth variable display of the special figure 2 is started, and the special figure 2 is also suspended four times. Therefore, in the state of "petit chance" (it may be called "petit chance mode" in FIG. 21), it is possible to secure the variable display of the special figure 2 at least four times.

  On the other hand, when the opening / closing operation of the electric chow per blow drawing is finished and one blow drawing game is finished, subsequently, fluctuation display of the held blow drawing is started. Also here, after the fluctuation display of a short time general drawing is performed, it becomes per common drawing, and the opening and closing operation of the electric chow is performed as described above.

  Since the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display of the fifth special drawing 2 is a long time, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, before the fluctuation display of the fifth special drawing 2 ends, the fluctuation display of the common drawing ends. If the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 is ended, the power supply state is not started at the time when the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 is ended (timing of t1). Since the transition to the power support state is made, but the transition to the non-power support state is made after the opening / closing operation of the power chow has been started, the power chow is opened for a long time even after the transition to the non-power support state. Become. Therefore, even after the transition to the non-power-supporting state, it may be possible to secure the suspension of many special views 2. It should be noted that when the fifth variable display of the special view 2 ends, the state shifts to the non-power-on state and the state shifts to the petit chance mode.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the fluctuation time of the variable display of the special view 2 after transitioning to the petit chance mode is executed for the first to third times of the variable display of the four reserved special views 2. The fluctuation display of the special figure 2 (ie, the fluctuation display of the sixth to eighth symbols after the end of the big hit game) is performed in a very short time (for example, 0.5 seconds), and the remaining 1 is a hold 4 For the variable display of the special figure 2 to be executed for the second time (ie, the ninth symbol fluctuation display after the end of the big hit game), if it is to be performed for a long time, the power chew is for a long time in the state of holding 0 It may be open.

  Then, it may be possible to hold up to four variable displays of the special view 2 during the petit chance mode. Originally, it becomes difficult to win the electric chow in the non-electric support state, so normally, the number of times of the variable display of the special figure 2 performed during the petit chance mode is four times, and the petit chance mode at the timing of t2. In the case as shown in FIG. 21, the petit chance mode will continue until the variable display of the special figure 2 held in the petit chance mode is digested. That is, the number of times of the variable display of the special figure 2 performed during the petit chance mode is doubled to eight, and the period is also extended to the timing of t3. As a result, the chance of shifting to the gaming state 2 is doubled, and a problem such as an increase in gambling will occur.

  In order to make it difficult to generate the situation as described above, for example, the fluctuation display time of the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 after shifting to the petit chance mode is not made a short time, and a certain long time (for example, in the normal gaming state) The variation time etc. that can be selected), and also, the execution time of the popular game (from the start of the variable display of the popular map to the popular game, the game until the opening / closing operation of the electric Chu is finished) is not extended so much It is preferable to do this (for example, to shorten the closing time T of the electric chow, or to open and close the electric chow only once for a long time). By doing this, it is possible to suppress an increase in euphoricity, and it may be possible to play a sound game.

<Modification 1>
Next, modified examples of effects that can be performed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. In this modification, the basic configuration is the same as that of the embodiment described above, but the number of times of charge assistance provided after the end of the big hit game is different. Specifically, when the big hit in the special figure 1, the game state 3 is shifted after the big hit game is over, but in this case, the number of times of charge support is two. In addition, when it is a big hit in the special figure 2, if it becomes a big hit in the power support state, it will shift to the game state 3 after the big hit game end, the number of times of power support given in this case is 100 It has become times. Moreover, it is a case of big hit in the special figure 2, and it did not become big hit in the electric support state, but it is a big hit in the fluctuation display (during chance) of the special figure 2 held at the end of the electric support state. When it becomes, it will shift to the game state 2 after the said big hit game end, and the number of times of electric support provided in this case is 10 times. In addition, when it hits big with special figure 2 in the state which is neither in the power support state nor the petit chance, it shifts to the game state 3 after the said big hit game end, but the number of times of the power support given in this case is twice It becomes. Although the number of times of ST is set to 14 times, it can be set arbitrarily.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing in stages an example of effects based on the decorative symbol display device 208 of the pachinko machine 100 of the present embodiment. In addition, FIG. 22 is a figure which shows the continuation of an example of an effect shown in FIG.17 (d) in steps.

  FIG. 22 (a) shows that a big hit game ending effect is being performed. In the effect shown in FIG. 22 (a), since the number of times of charge assistance is given in gaming state 3 which is shifted after the end of the big hit game, there is a big hit in the charge assistance state of twice charge assistance. Is the same as FIG. 17 (e) except that the character display of "super chance if it is within 2 turns is displayed" indicating that there is a possibility of shifting to a more advantageous gaming state.

  When the big hit game is finished as described above, as shown in FIG. 22 (b), in the state of being stopped and displayed by the combination of the decoration symbols of "decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3" in the decoration symbol display device 208, It changes to the power support state with definite change. At this time, the remaining number of times "remaining 2 times", which is the number of remaining symbol variations until the power support state ends, is displayed. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, one reserved icon h11 of the special figure 1 and four reserved icons h21 to h24 of the special figure 2 are displayed, and these reserved icons h11 and h21 to h24 are all default. Are displayed in the display mode (round non-pattern and white display mode).

  Thereafter, the special figure 2 is started to change in priority to the special figure 1, so as shown in FIG. 22 (c), the special figure 2 is changed as shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). The variable display of is started.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (d), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 has passed, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop at “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6", The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (e), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). In addition, since the variable display of this special view is the second time after the big hit game is over, when the variable display of this special view is finished, the character display of "last" indicating that the power support state is finished is displayed. It is displayed at the upper center of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 as the remaining number display.

  FIG. 22F shows a state when the second variation display of the special view is ended after the big hit game is ended. That is, the situation when the variable display of the last special drawing in the power support state is finished is shown. Specifically, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with "special view J" which is a display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6". The stop display is performed, and in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is performed with a symbol of “x” indicating that there is a loss. At this time, the character display of "last" as the remaining number display is continuously displayed. In the timing shown in FIG. 22 (f), it is shown that the number of reservations of Special Figure 2 is two.

  As described above, when the power support state ends, the power support state as the gaming state 3 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 22 (g) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. Also in this case, the variable display of Special Figure 2 is started prior to Special Figure 1. When it shifts to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special figure starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in Figure 22 (g), in the decorative symbol display device 208, left strike the player A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "Petitize in progress" is displayed to indicate that the variation display of Special Figure 2 is in process of being digested based on the suspension when the power supply state is ended. When a big hit occurs in "during a chance," it is informed that there is a chance to shift to the game state 2.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (h), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 has passed, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop at “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 3-decoration 2-decoration 8" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (i), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). Moreover, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the character display of "in the middle of a petit chance" is continuously performed.

  FIG. 22 (j) shows that the variation display of the symbol shown in FIG. 22 (i) is continuously performed. In the meantime, one gaming ball is won in the second special view starting opening 232 during the timing shown in FIG. 22 (j) from the timing shown in FIG. , One holding lamp is on, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, accordingly, four holding icons h21 of the special figure 2 are displayed, and the number of holdings of the special figure 2 is one. It is shown. In this effect example, unlike the effect example shown in FIG. 20, the game ball wins in the second special view starting opening 232 after the power support state ends, and the variation display of the special view 2 based on the winning is When the result is a big hit, it does not shift to the gaming state 2 and is configured to shift to the gaming state 3 where the number of times of power support is two.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22 (k), when the fluctuation period of the special view 2 elapses, the second special view display device 214 displays the stop with “special view J” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed on "decoration 3-decoration 2-decoration 8" in the decorative symbol display device 208, The special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (l), the variable display of the special view 2 is started prior to the special view 1 in the manner shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). Note that the character display of "in the middle of a petit chance" is ended when the variable display of the special figure 2 is started.

  In FIG. 22 (m) following FIG. 22 (l), “decoration 3” is stopped and displayed in each of the left symbol display area 208a and the right symbol display area 208c, and a reach state is formed, and reach effect is started . After that, as shown in FIG. 22 (n), in the decorative symbol display device 208, “decoration 3” is derived and displayed as a third stop symbol in the middle symbol display area 208b, and it is swayed while being displayed large at the center of the display screen. doing.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 22 (o), the second special view display device 212 displays the final image in the special view B, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays 15R of “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3”. The combination of the decorative symbols of the big hit decision is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, it is informed that the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed in the special figure B.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 22 (p), in the decorative symbol display device 208, a big hit start effect is produced informing that the 15R big hit game has been started. The contents of the effect shown in FIG. 22 (p) are the same as those in FIG. 19 (n), so the detailed description will be omitted.

  FIG. 22 (q) shows that the end effect of the big hit game is performed after the 15th round is completed. As described above, the present big hit is the fluctuation indication of the special view 2 which is suspended during the fluctuation indication of the special view 2 which is suspended at the end of the electricity support state (ie, is suspended after the termination of the electricity support state) Since it is a big hit in the variation display of the special figure 2, after the end of the big hit game, it shifts to the game state 3 where the number of times of power support is given twice. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22 (q), in the decorative symbol display device 208, it is possible that the game state may shift to a more advantageous game state if it becomes a big hit in the power support state of 2 times of power support. The wording "Super chance if hit within 2 turns" is displayed. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, display of the number of winning balls is performed. In this case, since it is a big hit that occurs after the end of the petit chance, it becomes the first big hit, and therefore, the number of winning balls obtained in the current big hit is displayed as a display showing the number of winning balls. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 208, display of "1500 get" is performed. Furthermore, in the decorative symbol display device 208 shown in FIG. 22 (q), a right-handed display is also continued.

<< Embodiment 2 >>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, differences from the embodiments described above will be mainly described.

  FIG. 23 is a schematic front view of the game board 200A applied to the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment as viewed from the front side (player side). In addition, since this game board 200A can be mounted instead of the game board 200 attached to the pachinko machine 100 in the first embodiment, the portion having the same function and configuration as the game board 200 described in the first embodiment There is a case where the symbol is common and the description is omitted.

  The game board 200A has a game area 124 on the front, and is detachably mounted on the main body 104 using a predetermined fixing member so as to face the space portion 114 of the main body 104 described in FIG. The game area 124 can be observed from the opening 116 after the game board 200A is attached to the main body 104.

  The attachment structure of the game board 200A to the main body 104 can adopt various structures, but for example, the front view left side portion 200a of the game board 200A is inserted into the front view left side (the hinge portion 112 side) of the main body 104 It is possible to adopt a structure in which the front right side portion 200b of the game board 200A is pressed against the main body 104 and set while rotating the game board 200A with the rotation center as a center, and such a structure can improve the workability. There is a case.

  The game board 200A is a unit in which various parts are attached to a plate-like main body 201. The main body 201 is formed of, for example, a resin, and the surface (front) of the main body 201 constitutes a decorative surface on which a character or the like of the pachinko machine 100 is displayed. The decorative surface may be formed, for example, by sticking a sheet (decorative board) on which the character or the like of the pachinko machine 100 is printed. At the lower right of the main body 201, a vibration sensor SR3 is disposed. When detected by the vibration sensor SR3, error processing (for example, notification by an image or sound, stop of the game which makes it impossible to continue the game, etc.) can be performed. The vibration sensor SR3 may be another fraud detecting sensor such as a magnetic sensor.

  An outer rail 202 and an inner rail 204 are disposed on the game board 200A, and a game area 124 in which game balls can roll is defined. A part of the outer rail 202 is formed by a rail member 209 which is attachable to and detachable from the main body 104. In the game area 124, an area between the outer rail 202 and the inner rail 204 forms a guide area 201a for guiding the fired game ball.

  An area other than the game area 124 of the game board 200A may be referred to as a non-game area. The game area 124 and the non-game area can be distinguished with the outer rail 202 as a boundary. In addition, the area inside the area through which the game ball passes can be called at least the game area 124 in a state where the launch strength of the game ball is maximized. The game area 124 may include an area in which the game ball does not pass due to the presence of a rendering device or the like in the game area 124. The gaming area 124 is called a flowing area at the point where the gaming balls flow in during the game, and a non-playing area may be called a non-flowing area at the point that the gaming balls do not flow during the game except for maintenance and accidents. The game area 124 can also be called the entire area as a flow-down area, but the area where the game balls do not flow down due to the presence of a rendering device or the like may be called a non-flow-down area.

  A decorative symbol display device 208 is disposed substantially at the center of the game area 124. Below the gaming area 124, the common drawing display device 210, the first special drawing display device 212, the second special drawing display device 214, the common drawing holding lamp 216, and the first special drawing holding lamp 218, A second special view holding lamp 220 is provided. In the present embodiment, although two special view display devices are provided, only one may be provided, or three or more may be provided.

  Around the decorative symbol display device 208, a predetermined ball entrance, for example, a general winning opening 226, a common drawing starting opening 228, a first special drawing starting opening 230, a second special drawing starting opening 232, An attacker unit 2340 having a variable winning opening 234, a general winning opening 226, etc. is disposed. Although described in detail later, the attachment unit 2340 is detachably attachable to the main body 201 of the game board 200A.

  When a predetermined ball detection sensor (not shown) detects entry into the general winning opening 226 (when winning at the general winning opening 226), the payout device 152 is driven and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of The ball is discharged to the upper plate 126 as a winning ball.

  The drawing start port 228 is configured with a device called a gate or through chucker for determining whether or not a ball has passed a predetermined area of the game area 124, and in the present embodiment, the right side of the game board 200A. There is one in the house. Unlike the ball having entered the general winning opening 226, the ball having passed through the regular drawing start port 228 is not discharged to the gaming island side. When a predetermined ball detection sensor detects that the ball has passed through the common drawing start port 228, the pachinko machine 100 starts a common drawing fluctuation game by the common drawing display device 210.

  In the present embodiment, only one first special view start port 230 is disposed at the lower center of the game board 200A. When a predetermined ball detection sensor detects entry of the ball into the first special view starting opening 230, the payout device 152 described later is driven, and a predetermined number (for example, three) of balls is used as a prize ball for the upper tray 126. The first special figure display device 212 starts a special figure change game. The ball entering the first special view starting opening 230 is guided to the back side of the pachinko machine 100 and then discharged to the gaming island side. In the case of the present embodiment, in the arrangement of the first special view start opening 230, entering the game ball into the first special view start opening 230 is difficult when the right strike is performed.

  The second special drawing start port 232 is called an electric tulip (electric chew), and in the present embodiment, only one is disposed immediately below the first special drawing start port 230. The second special view start port 232 includes a wing member 232a that can be opened and closed from side to side, and it is impossible to enter a ball while the wing member 232a is closed, and wins a common game variation game, and a common game display device When the symbol 210 is stopped and displayed, the blade member 232a opens and closes at a predetermined time interval and a predetermined number of times. When a predetermined ball detection sensor detects a ball entering the second special view start port 232, the payout device 152 is driven to discharge a predetermined number (for example, four) of balls as a winning ball to the upper tray 126. At the same time, the special figure variation game by the second special figure display device 214 is started. The ball entering the second special view starting opening 232 is guided to the back side of the pachinko machine 100 and then discharged to the gaming island side. In the case of the present embodiment, when the left hitting is performed due to the arrangement of the common view starting opening 228 (by the game nail not shown), the game ball entering the common opening starting opening 228 has a difficult configuration . Therefore, it is not in principle to win the common swing game during the left hitting, and therefore it is not in principle that the blade member 232a opens and closes. On the other hand, when the player strikes the right, since the game ball can be expected to enter the common view starting opening 228, the common swing game may be won and the wing members 232a may be opened and closed.

  Furthermore, in the game area 124, a plurality of disc-shaped hitting direction conversion members 236 called windmills and game nails are provided, and at the lowermost part of the inner rail 204, any winning opening or starting opening Also, after guiding the ball that has not won the prize to the back side of the pachinko machine 100, an out port 240 for discharging the ball to the gaming island side is provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the rendering device 2 is disposed in the upper part of the game area 124, and the rendering device 3 is disposed in the lower part, and the rendering device 4 is disposed on the left side and the right side. Behind each of the rendering devices 4, a rendering device 5 to be described later is disposed. In the case of the present embodiment, these are supported by the main body 104 and appropriately operate according to the effects. That is, the rendering devices 2 to 5 constitute the rendering movable body 224, respectively.

  Next, the details of the attacker unit 2340 shown in FIG. 23 will be described. FIG. 24 is a front view of the attacker unit 2340, and FIG. 25 is a rear view of the attacker unit 2340.

  The attacker unit 2340 includes a first variable winning opening 234 as an example of the first variable winning means, a second variable winning opening 235 as an example of the second variable winning means, and a general winning opening 226. .

  The attacker unit 2340 has, for example, a flat plate shape, and includes a mounting base 2340a for mounting on the front surface of the game board 200A, and a decorative member 2340b attached at a predetermined distance to the front surface of the mounting base 2340a. .

  In the mounting base 2340a, a rectangular opening is opened substantially at the center in the vicinity of the upper end, and a plate-shaped first door member 2341 is attached so as to cover the opening. The lower end side of the first door member 2341 is pivotally supported by the mounting base 2340a, and can be opened and closed forward by driving of a solenoid SOL1 mounted on the rear side of the mounting base 2340a. The solenoid SOL1 is included in the various solenoids 332 described above in the first embodiment, and is driven by the drive circuit 334. In the present embodiment, the first variable winning hole 234 is configured as described above. On the back side of the mounting base 2340a, there is formed a winning passage for discharging the gaming ball entered into the first variable winning opening 234 downward, and at a predetermined position of the winning passage, the first to detect passage of the gaming ball A count switch SW1 is provided. When passage of the game ball is detected by the count switch SW1, the payout device 152 is driven, and a predetermined number (for example, 15) of balls are discharged to the upper tray 126 as a winning ball.

  In addition, a general winning hole 226 is provided at the upper end on the right side of the mounting base 2340a, which allows the game ball to enter from above. The front side of the general winning hole 226 is covered with a decorative member 2340 b.

  In addition, a second variable winning hole 235 is formed between the mounting base 2340a and the decorative member 2340b. In the present embodiment, the second variable winning opening 235 is opened only in the small hit game described later, and in each round in the big hit game, only the first variable winning opening 234 is opened and the second variable winning opening 235 is opened. However, during the big hit game, there may be a round in which the second variable winning opening 235 is opened. Hereinafter, the configuration of the second variable winning hole 235 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 26 (a) and 26 (b). FIG. 26 is a view for explaining the internal structure of the second variable winning opening 235, and FIG. 26 (a) is a view showing that the V-shutter 2352a as an example of the variable ball entry means is in a closed state. FIG. 26B shows that the V-shutter 2352a is in the open state. In FIG. 26A and FIG. 26B, in order to easily explain the internal structure of the second variable winning hole 235, the decorative member 2340b is transparently shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 26 (a) and 26 (b), the decorative member 2340b has a wall surface having a bottom surface 2340c, a top surface 2340d, and a side surface 2340e erected rearward from the back surface of the plate surface 2340f. In the decorative member 2340b, a wall surface forms a first rolling area SP1 and a second rolling area SP2 on which the game ball can roll, and an open rear portion thereof is closed by the front surface of the mounting base 2340a.

  The first rolling area SP1 is open at the top, and a plate-like shutter member 2351 is provided so as to be movable forward and backward in the depth direction with respect to the mounting base 2340a so as to cover the open portion. The shutter member 2351 is configured to be displaceable by the drive of the solenoid SOL2 (see FIG. 25). The solenoid SOL2 is included in the various solenoids 332 described above in the first embodiment, and is driven by the drive circuit 334. That is, in this embodiment, the first rolling area SP1 is closed when the shutter member 2351 is advanced to the front with respect to the mounting base 2340a (closed state), and the first game ball is When the entry into the rolling area SP1 is blocked, and when it is in the backward state (opened state), the first rolling area SP1 is opened, and the gaming ball enters the first rolling area SP1. Entry is permitted.

  A second count switch SW2 for detecting passage of gaming balls is disposed at a position where the first rolling area SP1 and the second rolling area SP2 are communicated with each other, and in the first rolling area SP1 When the entered gaming ball rolls on the bottom surface 2340c and is guided in the left direction, it passes this second count switch SW2. The second count switch SW2 is included in the various sensors 320 described above in the first embodiment, and is configured such that a detection signal is input to the sensor circuit 322. In the present embodiment, when the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 detects the passage of the gaming ball to the second count switch SW2, it detects the winning of the second variable winning opening 235, and the payout device 152 is driven. The number (for example, 15) of balls is discharged to the upper plate 126 as a winning ball.

  The gaming ball having passed through the second count switch SW2 is guided to the second rolling area SP2. The second rolling area SP2 is configured such that the V passage 2340g and the general passage 2340h are arranged side by side in the left and right direction below, and the received gaming ball is guided to any one passage and discharged downward. . A V passage switch SW3 is disposed in the V passage 2340g, and a gaming ball guided to the V passage 2340g is configured to pass through the V passage switch SW3. As described above, it can be said that the V passage 2340 g is an area provided at a position where the gaming ball having entered at least the second variable winning hole 235 can enter. The V passage switch SW3 is included in the various sensors 320 described above in the first embodiment, and is configured such that a detection signal is input to the sensor circuit 322. In the present embodiment, when the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 detects the passage of the game ball to the V passage switch SW3, it can be determined that the game ball has passed the V passage 2340g. A plate-like V shutter 2352a is provided so as to be movable forward and backward in the depth direction with respect to the mounting base 2340a so as to cover the upper side of the V passage 2340g. The V-shutter 2352a is configured to be displaceable by the drive of the solenoid SOL3 (see FIG. 25). The solenoid SOL3 is included in the various solenoids 332 described above in the first embodiment, and is driven by the drive circuit 334. That is, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 26A, when the V-shutter 2352a is in a forwardly advanced state (closed state) with respect to the mounting base 2340a, the game ball to the V passage 2340g is The game ball entering the second rolling area SP2 is prevented from entering the second rolling area SP2, and is rolled on the upper surface of the V shutter 2352a and guided to the general passage 2340h. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the V-shutter 2352a is in a state (opened state) in which the V-shutter 2352a is retracted backward with respect to the mounting base 2340a, entry of gaming balls into the V passage 2340g is permitted. The gaming balls having entered the second rolling area SP2 are guided to the V passage 2340g. In the following description, the solenoid SOL3 may be referred to as a positive change operation area solenoid. Further, a discharge ball detection switch SW4 is disposed in the general passage 2340h, and the gaming ball guided to the general passage 2340h is configured to pass through the discharge ball detection switch SW4. The discharge ball detection switch SW4 is included in the various sensors 320 described above in the first embodiment, and is configured such that a detection signal is input to the sensor circuit 322. In this embodiment, when the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 detects the passage of the game ball to the discharge ball detection switch SW4, it detects that the game ball has passed through the general passage 2340h.

  In the present embodiment, by configuring as described above, for example, the second variable number of the gaming ball is determined by the number of passing gaming balls of the second count switch SW2 and the number of passing V passing switch SW3 and discharging ball detection switch SW4. By monitoring the in / out of the winning opening 235, it may be possible to monitor the passage of the game ball to the V passage 2340g illegally. Specifically, the number of gaming balls detected by the second count switch SW2 of the second variable winning opening 235 is counted as the number (IN number) accepted by the second variable winning opening 235, and stored in the RAM 308. On the other hand, the total number of gaming balls detected by each of the V passage switch SW3 and the discharge ball detection switch SW4 is counted as the number (OUT number) discharged from the second variable winning opening 235 and stored in the RAM 308 . Then, a process is performed to check whether the number of IN and the number of OUT match for the number of IN and the number of OUT. If the number of IN> OUT number, it is determined that the prize is over, the number of IN < In the case of the OUT number, it is possible to perform a prize error determination by determining that the discharge is excessive. Examples of illegal acts include acts using a ball with a thread or a game ball (so-called deca ball) that is larger in size than prescribed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, with the above-described configuration, only the game ball entering the second variable winning opening 235 can enter the V passage 2340 g, and the gaming ball entering the first variable winning opening 234 is the V passage. It is configured to be inaccessible to 2340 g.

  In the present embodiment, for example, the game ball is won in the second variable winning opening 235 which opens when a small hit occurs, a big hit occurs when the gaming ball passes the V passage switch SW3, and the first variable winning opening 234 It is comprised so that the big hit game which opens and closes by a predetermined opening-and-closing pattern may be performed.

  In addition, for example, during the big hit game, when the game ball which entered 2nd variable winning a prize mouth 235 passes V passage 2340g, after the big hit game ends, it moves to special figure high probability spread figure high probability state (certain change state), If the game ball does not pass the V passage switch SW3 during the big hit game, a game may be made to shift to the special figure low probability spread figure high probability state (time saving state) after the big hit game is over .

<Type of symbol>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 27 (a) to 27 (d), a first special view display device 212, a second special view display device 214, a decorative symbol display device 208, and a common drawing of the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment. The types of the special drawing and the common drawing that the display device 210 displays in a stopped state will be described. Fig.27 (a) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of special figure 1, FIG.27 (b) shows an example of the stop symbol aspect of special figure 2. As shown in FIG. Although the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment has a game configuration without a big hit (special big hit) in which the probability of winning a big hit is high, it may be a game configuration having a special big hit. When the special jackpot is won, the probability of winning the jackpot in the next special figure fluctuation game becomes high (special figure high probability state).

  In FIG. 27A, seven types of special views from “special view A” to “special view G” are shown as stop symbol modes in the symbol variation stop display according to the special view 1. In FIG. 27 (a), the white parts in the figure indicate the locations of the segments to be turned off, and the black parts indicate the locations of the segments to be lit.

  In the present embodiment, six types of big hit symbols ("Special Figure A" to "Special Figure F") are prepared as the stop symbol form of Special Figure 1. "Special figure A" and "special figure B" are 15R big hit symbols, "special figure C" and "special figure D" are 6R big hit symbols, "special figure E" and "special figure F" are 2R big hits It is a design. When these symbols (special drawings A to F) are stopped and displayed, then the control state becomes a drawing high probability state (power support state). In the present embodiment, even if the special figure A to the special figure F make a big hit, if the variation stop display of the special figure is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 4 times) after the end of the big hit game, the common figure high probability It is comprised so that it may transfer to a common state low probability state from a state. In the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit in the special view 1, four power assistances are given after the end of the big hit game, regardless of which big hit symbol.

  "Special figure G" is a lost design and is a special figure in which a big hit game is not started.

  In FIG. 27 (b), three types of special figures from “Special figure a” to “Special figure c” are prepared as stop symbol modes in the symbol variation stop display according to the special figure 2. In FIG. 27 (b), the white parts in the figure indicate the locations of the segments to be turned off, and the black parts indicate the locations of the segments to be lit.

  In the present embodiment, one type of big hit symbol (“special symbol a”) is prepared as the stop symbol aspect of the special symbol 2. "Special figure a" is a 16R direct hit big hit design, and after the big hit game of 16 rounds ends, it shifts to the electric support state. In this case, the number of times of charge support is four (four charge support).

  "Special figure b" is a small hit symbol (15 RV symbol). When the player wins the "special figure b", the game ball easily passes through the V passage 2340g than when the player does not win, and when the game ball passes the V passage switch SW3 provided in the V passage 2340g (hereinafter referred to as V prize winning) In some cases), transition to the 15R jackpot game. To be precise, when the result of the variable display of the special figure 2 becomes “special figure b,” the first round game in which the second variable winning opening 235 opens in a predetermined mode is started, and this first round game On the condition that the game ball wins the second variable winning hole 235 and this game ball passes the V passage switch SW3 (V prize), the real 15R is performed from the second round to the 16th round (total 15R) A big hit game will be started. In this embodiment, since it is configured in this manner, the 16R direct hit big hit has more balls in the 16R direct hit big hit and the big hit generated by the V winning by the small hit. In the present embodiment, in the small hit game to be performed when the small hit, the second variable winning opening 235, for example, opened for 5 seconds, and the game ball that entered the second variable winning opening 235 The V shutter 2352a is controlled to open and close so that it easily passes through the V passage switch SW3. Therefore, if you hit a small hit in the power support state, you can easily make the V prize when a small hit occurs. There is a possibility. For example, the V shutter 2352a is in an open state for a short time or has a distribution device for distributing the game balls winning in the second variable winning opening 235 to the V passage 2340g and the general passage 2340h. The gaming ball having entered the second variable winning prize opening 235 may be configured to be a V prize or a V prize.

  In addition, the small hit design of the special figure 2 may have more types than the big hit design of the special figure 1. It is difficult to identify the type of jackpot when the V prize is won, and in some cases, the interest of the game can be improved. Further, symbols other than the symbols illustrated in FIGS. 27 (a) and (b) may be prepared.

  FIG. 27C shows an example of a decorative symbol. There are ten types of "decoration 1" to "decoration 10" in the decorative design of the present embodiment. In the case of this embodiment, the combination of the decorative symbols corresponds to Special Figure 1, but may correspond to Special Figure 2.

  Under the condition that the first start opening sensor detects that the ball has won the first special view start opening 230, that is, that the ball has entered the first special view start opening 230, the decorative symbol display device 208 In the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display area 208c, each of the symbol display areas is "decorative 1" → "decorative 2" → "decorative 3" → ... "decorative 9" → " "Variant display of decoration pattern" is performed in which the display is switched in the order of "decoration 10" → "decoration 1" →.

  And when notifying the big hit of "special figure A"-"special figure D", "the combination 1 of a decorative pattern" in which three same decorative designs other than the decoration 3 and the decoration 7 were arranged in the symbol display areas 208a-208c. (For example, "decoration 1-decoration 1-decoration 1" or "decoration 2-decoration 2-decoration 2" etc.) is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, when notifying the big hit of “special figure A” or “special figure B”, “combination 2 of decorative designs” (for example, “decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3” Stop display of "decoration 7-decoration 7-decoration 7".

  Moreover, when alerting | reporting the big hit of "special figure E" or "special figure F", the stop display of "combination 3 of a decoration pattern", such as "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 3" is carried out. Moreover, when notifying "special figure G" which is a loss, the combination (for example, loose eyes) of decoration symbols other than "combination 1 of decoration symbols"-"combination 3 of decoration symbols" is stopped and displayed.

  FIG. 27 (d) shows an example of the stop display symbol of the common figure. There are two types of stop display modes of the common drawing of the present embodiment, "common drawing A" which is a hit symbol, and "common drawing B" which is a lost design. Based on the fact that the gate sensor described above detects that the ball has passed through the common drawing start port 228, the normal symbol display device 210 repeats lighting of all seven segments and lighting of one central segment repeatedly. Perform "Variable display of common map". Then, when notifying that the popular game variation game is won, the "general game A" is stopped and displayed, and when the loss of the regular game fluctuation game is notified, the "general game B" is stopped and displayed. Also in FIG. 27 (d), the white part in the figure indicates the location of the segment to be turned off, and the black part indicates the location of the segment to be lit.

  Next, the success / failure determination table of the special view 1 and the special view 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 28 (a). The success / failure determination table is, for example, a table used in the special figure 2 related lottery process (step S229) and the special figure 1 related lottery process (step S231) in the main control unit timer interrupt process described above with reference to FIG. is there. In addition, as above-mentioned, in this embodiment, the game in which the winning probability of a special figure fluctuates is not assumed. In the example of the figure, the range of random numbers used for big hit success / failure determination is 0 to 65535, and if the random numbers are 0 to 163, it is determined to be a big hit (big hit probability: about 1 / 399.6) In the case of ~ 65535, it is determined as lost.

  Subsequently, the small hitting determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 28 (b). The small hit determination is performed when it is determined that the loss is determined by the special determination of the special figure 2, and the small hit determination table is a table used in the small determination. That is, in the present embodiment, a small hit occurs only in the special view 2. In the example of the same figure, the range of the random number used for the hit determination of the small hit of the special figure 2 is 0 to 65535, and it is determined as the small hit when the random number is 0 to 10919 (small hit probability: about 1/6) ), And the random number is determined to be a loss in the case of 1090 to 65535.

  Subsequently, a special figure 1 symbol determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 28 (c). When determining the stop symbol of the special figure 1, referring to the special figure 1 symbol determination table shown in FIG. 28 (c), the special figure 1 special decision is made based on the result of the judgment of the special figure 1 and the numerical value range of the random number. Select the stop symbol shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, when the success or failure determination result of the special view 1 is a big hit, any one of the special view A to the special view F is selected. More specifically, when the success or failure judgment result of the special figure 1 is a big hit, the special figure A is selected with a probability of 30/100, the special figure B is selected with a probability of 30/100, and 15/100 Special figure C is selected by probability, special figure D is selected with probability 15/100, special figure E is selected with probability 5/100, and special figure F is selected with probability 5/100. That is, in the special figure 1, when it is a big hit, it becomes a 15R big hit with a probability of 60%, a 6R big hit with a 30% probability, and a 2R big hit with a 10% probability. Therefore, in special figure 1, it can be said that 15R big hit is easy to be started. Further, when the success or failure determination result of the special view 1 is a loss, the special view G is selected. In addition, since the special figure 1 does not have a small hit, there is no table for determining a small hit pattern.

  Subsequently, a special drawing 2 symbol determination table will be described with reference to FIG. 28 (d). When deciding the stop design of the special figure 2, referring to the special figure 2 design table for the special figure 2 which is shown in figure 28 (d), on the basis of the result of the decision of the special figure 2 and the numerical range of random value, Select the stop symbol of Special Figure 2. In the present embodiment, the special figure a is selected when the success / failure determination result of the special figure 2 is a big hit (direct hit big hit), the special figure b is selected when the small hit, and the case of a loss Special figure c is selected. In addition, when determining the stop symbol of the special figure 2, the random number may not be extracted and the table may not be used.

  Next, a game flow in the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment starts from the gaming state 1 as the non-power support state first. And, in the game state 1, when the result of the variable display of the special figure is any of the special figure A-the special figure F, that is, when it becomes the big hit, after the end of the big hit game, one of the power support state It shifts to the game state 3 as one. When the game state 3 is entered, the number of times of charge assistance is four. Since the gaming state 3 is in the power-on state, hitting the right makes it easy to win the second special view start port 232, and the variable display of the special view 2 is mainly performed. When the game state 3 is a 16R direct hit big hit or a small hit and a V prize to be a big hit, after the end of the big hit game, transition to the game state 3 again.

  On the other hand, after the transition to the gaming state 3, when the variable display of the special figure of the number of times of charge support (4 times) is given, the charge support state (general drawing high probability state) is ended (lack of charge support), Transition to gaming state 1 is made. However, when the variable display of the special view 2 is suspended during the execution of the variable display of the last special view in the gaming state 3, this may be maintained even after the transition to the gaming state 1. That is, even after the suspension of the special view 2 shifts to the gaming state 1, there may be a case where it remains. For example, after transitioning to the gaming state 3 where the number of times of power support is given, when the variable display of the four special views is ended, the suspension of the special view 2 may remain up to four. In the present embodiment, when it is a small hit in the variable display of the special view based on the remaining in this way and becomes V winning and becoming a big hit, it is less likely to be a big hit than the gaming state 3, but the gaming state 1 It is characterized in that it shifts to gaming state 2 which is more likely to be a big hit.

  That is, in the case of a small hit in the variable display of the special view based on the above-mentioned remaining hold and V winning and becoming a big hit, after the end of the big hit game, transition to gaming state 2 as one of the power support state Do. In this case, the number of times of charge support is one. On the other hand, when it does not become a big hit by the fluctuation display of the special figure based on the above-mentioned remaining reservation, gaming state 1 is maintained, but even if it becomes a big hit here, it does not shift to gaming state 2, As the first big hit, after the end of the big hit game, it moves to the game state 3 where the number of times of power support is 4 times.

  In the case of a small hit in the game state 2 and a V prize and a big hit, the game state 3 is shifted to after the end of the big hit game.

  On the other hand, after the transition to the gaming state 2, when the variable display of the special figure of the number of times of charge support (one time) is given, the charge support state (general drawing high probability state) ends (lack of charge support), Transition to gaming state 1 is made. Here too, as mentioned above, when the reserve of special figure 2 remains, it is a small hit in the fluctuation display of the special figure based on the reserve, on condition that it is a big hit with V prize and became big hit, It is possible to shift to the game state 2.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the result of the variable display of the special view 2 is a 16R direct hit big hit, regardless of the gaming state, after the end of the big hit game, the number of times of power support is 4 in the game state 3 Transition.

  Next, a specific example of the effect performed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 30 is a view showing in stages an example of effects based on the decorative symbol display device 208 of the pachinko machine 100 of the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 30, a decorative symbol display device 208, a first special view display device 212, a second special view display device 214, a special view 1 holding lamp 218 and a special view 2 holding lamp 220 are shown. In addition, illustration is abbreviate | omitted to the normal symbol display apparatus 210 and the common drawing reservation lamp 216. FIG. In addition, as for the effect contents shown in FIG. 30A to FIG. 30R, the "special figure c" as the lost symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 214, and the first special figure display device Since it is the same as that of Drawing 16 (a)-the same figure (r) except that "special figure G" is displayed as a lost design displayed in 212, explanation is omitted.

  FIG. 31: is a figure which shows sequentially the example of an effect shown in FIG. 30 in steps.

  In FIG. 31 (a) continued from FIG. 30 (r), a big hit start effect is performed indicating that the 15R big hit game has been started. At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, "decorative 3-decorative 3-decorative 3", which is a combination of decorative symbols at the time of a big hit, is displayed in the upper left corner of the display screen and In the upper part, a right-handed display for instructing the player to hit the right is displayed.

  Thereafter, when the jackpot start effect is finished and it proceeds to the first round, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), the decorative symbol display device 208 displays that it is the first round of the jackpot game. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, a display indicating the number of winning balls since the start of the first jackpot is displayed, and at the timing shown in FIG. 31 (b), Since each gaming ball has won the first variable winning opening 234, 15 winning balls obtained by multiplying the number of winning balls (15) for the first variable winning opening 234 by the number of winnings (one) "15get" is displayed to indicate that the player has acquired. Although the number of winning balls indicates the number of winning balls obtained by the first variable winning hole 234, the number obtained by subtracting the number of firing balls may be displayed, and other winning holes may be displayed. It may be displayed including the number of winning balls obtained by winning a prize.

  FIG. 31C shows the contents of the effect in the seventh round. At the timing shown in FIG. 31C, since 61 gaming balls have won the first variable winning opening 234 since the jackpot started, the number of winning balls (15) × number of winnings (61) 915 "915 get" is displayed indicating that each winning ball has been won.

  FIG. 31D shows the contents of the effect in the fifteenth round (the final round). As shown in FIG. 31 (d), in the decorative symbol display device 208, 150 gaming balls have won the first variable winning opening 234 since the start of the big hit, so the number of winning balls (15) x winnings The display of "2250 get" indicating that 2250 winning balls have been obtained with a number (150) is displayed. Further, at the timing shown in FIG. 31 (d), the first variable winning opening 234 changes to the closed state because ten gaming balls have won since the start of the fifteenth round.

  After that, when the 15th round is finished, the end effect of the big hit game is performed in a mode as shown in FIG. 31 (e). As described above, after the end of the big hit game, transition to the electric support state (gaming state 3) continues until the variable display of the special figure 2 is performed four times (four electric support). It can also be said that the gaming state 3 to be shifted this time is the four times the power support state. In the decorative symbol display device 208, a character display of “4 times a chance time” for displaying that effect is performed, and it is likely to be a big hit if a strike is produced in an effect (boring reach effect described later) performed during power support. The wording "Strike with big hit" is also displayed. In the power support state, the result of the variable display of the special view 1 is not a small hit, and therefore, the second variable winning hole 235 is not opened, so the variable display of the special view 1 is performed in the present embodiment. Although the number of remaining power supplies is not reduced (the number of power supplies is not counted), the number of remaining power supplies may be reduced even when the variable display of Special Figure 1 is performed. In the upper center of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, right-handed display is continuously performed.

  When the big hit game is finished as described above, as shown in FIG. 31 (f), in the state of being stopped and displayed by the combination of the decoration symbols of "decoration 3-decoration 3-decoration 3" in the decoration symbol display device 208, It is transferred to the power support state. At this time, the remaining number display of "four more", which is the number of remaining symbol variations until the power support state ends, is displayed. In addition, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the reserved icon h11 of one special view 1 is displayed in a default display mode (round no pattern and white display mode). In the decorative symbol display device 208, the right-handed display has ended, but for example, the right-handed instruction may be continued by turning on a predetermined right-handed lamp, or the right-handed display is ended. You may not do. In the power support state, the hold icon of the special view 1 may not be displayed.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 31 (g), the variation display of the special view 1 is started in the manner described above with reference to FIGS. 16 (b) to 16 (c). Thereafter, at the timing shown in FIG. 31H, the decorative symbols displayed in the left symbol display area 208a, the middle symbol display area 208b, and the right symbol display area 208c are the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208. It is displayed small. 31 (h) from the timing shown in FIG. 31 (g), four gaming balls win the second special view start opening 232, and the special view 2 hold lamp 220 , And four reserve lamps are on, and it is shown that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is reserved for four times.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (i), when the fluctuation period of the special view 1 elapses, the first special view display device 212 stops and displays “special view G” which is the display result of the loss. On the other hand, at this time, the symbol variation stop command is transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed at "decoration 1-decoration 2-decoration 6", The special figure 1 fourth symbol t1 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of "x" indicating that it is a loss.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (j), the variation display of the special view 2 is started in the manner described above with reference to FIGS. 16 (b) to 16 (c). Also in the second embodiment, when there is a suspension in both of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, the variable display of the special figure 2 is started prior to the special figure 1. Here, since the fluctuation display of the previous symbol is the fluctuation display of the special figure 1, as described above, the number of times of electric support does not decrease. Therefore, the remaining number display remains "four more" indicating that the power support state is four more. FIG. 31 (k) shows that variation display of symbols is continued.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (l), the bowling reach effect is started in the decorative symbol display device 208, and animation display is performed in which the character of the main character of the main character tries to throw a bowling ball. Then, as shown in FIG. 31 (m), in the decorative symbol display device 208, the ball thrown by the character of the main character of the main character rolls on the lane and moves toward the aligned ten bowling pins. It is shown, and has a feeling of expectation for a big hit or a big hit. After that, in FIG. 31 (n), it is displayed that the bowling ball is about to collide with the bowling pin, and the expectation for the small hit or the big hit is further fulfilled.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 31 (o), in the decorative symbol display device 208, the image of the scene where the strike can not be taken is displayed together with the character display of "Sorry", and the result of the fluctuation display of the current symbol is lost. Is notified. In the present embodiment, this bowling reach effect is an effect that is not performed in the normal gaming state (for example, gaming state 1), and is an effect that may be performed only in the power support state. Here, the boring reach effect may be performed in the variable display of the symbol in the power support state or may not be performed. Moreover, this boring reach presentation may be performed also during the process of the fluctuation | variation display of the special figure 2 based on suspension (residual suspension) when the electric support state mentioned later is complete | finished.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 31 (p), in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with “special view c” which is the display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol -Decorative 6-Decorative 2 "is stopped and displayed, and the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of" x "indicating that it is a loss.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31 (q), the variation display of the special view 2 is started in the manner described above with reference to FIGS. 16 (b) to 16 (c). At this time, the number of times of power support decreases and the character display of "3 more times" indicating that the power support state is 3 times is displayed at the upper center of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 as the remaining number display. . It should be noted that the small hit game was played as a small hit, but even if the small hit game is ended without a V prize, the number of times of electric support decreases and the next variable display of the symbol will be started .

  FIG. 32: is a figure which shows the continuation of an example of an effect shown in FIG. 31 in steps.

  FIG. 32A shows a state when the third variation display of the special view 2 is finished after the big hit game is finished. Specifically, in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed on the "special view c" which is the display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol is "decorative 1-decorative figure 6-decorative 2 In the special pattern 2 fourth symbol t2, the stop display is performed with the symbol “x” indicating that the game is lost.

  FIG. 33 (d) shows that the end effect of the big hit game is performed after the 15th round is completed. The content of the end effect of the big hit game shown in FIG. 33 (d) is the same as that shown in FIG. 31 (e) and described above.

  FIG. 33 (e) shows that the fourth variation display of Special Figure 2 is performed after the big hit game is over and the system is shifted to the power support state (playing state 3). At the upper center of the decorative symbol display device 208, the character display of "last" is performed as the remaining number display.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 33 (f) to FIG. 33 (h), bowling reach effect is performed, and as the display of the result, as shown in FIG. 33 (i), in the decorative symbol display device 208, a strike is generated. The image of the scene which could not be taken is displayed together with the character display of "sorry", and it is informed that the result of the fluctuation display of the symbol this time is a loss. In addition, about the content of the presentation of FIG.33 (f)-the figure (i), it is the same as having shown in FIG. 31 (l)-the figure (o) and having mentioned above. In the meantime, one gaming ball is won in the second special view starting opening 232 during the timing shown in FIG. 33 (h) from the timing shown in FIG. , And four reserve lamps are on, and it is shown that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is reserved for four times.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 33 (j), in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed with “special view c” which is the display result of losing, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, the decorative symbol -Decorative 6-Decorative 2 "is stopped and displayed, and the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of" x "indicating that it is a loss. Further, since the fourth variable display of the special view 2 is ended after shifting to the power support state, the character display of "opportunity time end" indicating that the power support state is ended is performed. In addition, at this time, the display of “6810 get” is performed, which indicates that the number of winning balls from the start of the first big hit game to the end of the previous big hit game is 6810, and it was obtained at this time Report the number of game balls.

  Thereafter, since the gaming state shifts from the power support state (playing state 3) to the non-power support state (playing state 1), as shown in FIG. 33 (k), in the decorative symbol display device 208, display in the power support state Switch from to the default display. At this time, in the decorative symbol display device 208, four variable displays of the special view 2 are suspended, so that four suspension icons h21 to h24 are displayed. Each of these hold icons h21 to h24 is displayed in the default display mode.

  As described above, when the power support state ends, the power support state as the gaming state 3 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 33 (l) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. When transitioning to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in FIG. 33 (l), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. Thereafter, the variable display of the special view 2 which is suspended (remaining suspended) is performed when the power saving state ends.

  After that, in FIG. 34 (a) following FIGS. 33 (m) to (r) and FIG. 33 (r), the variation display of the decorative symbol is as shown in FIG. 30 (i) to FIG. Super reach (subversive reach) will take place. When transitioning to a subversive reach, in addition to the case that the result of the variable display of the special figure 2 is a big hit, it may be a small hit, so the decorative design does not maintain the reach state of "decoration 3", three All of the decorative symbols start fluctuating display again. Thus, for example, in the case of a small hit, the same three decorative symbols may be aligned, and in some cases, it may be possible to prevent the possibility of misunderstanding that a large hit has occurred. In the present embodiment, in the variable display of symbols based on the remaining suspension, the same effect as the effect in the normal gaming state (punching reach effect) is performed, not the effect (boring reach effect) performed in the power support state. In addition, in the fluctuation display of the design based on the remaining suspension, a dedicated effect that is executed only in the fluctuation display of the symbol based on the remaining suspension may be performed, or the performance performed in the power support state is performed You may

  As a result of the animation of the battle scene shown in FIG. 34 (b), it is displayed that the main character of the main character has won the enemy character swordsman. However, unlike the effect shown in FIG. 30 (p), the result of the variable display of the special figure 2 this time is a small hit, and therefore, in order to avoid giving confusion to the player, the three decorative symbols are Both have been displayed fluctuatingly.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed in the "special view b" which is the display result of the small hit, but in the decorative symbol display device 208, three decorative symbols Is still fluctuating. Since the display result of the symbol this time is a small hit, the second variable winning opening 235 is opened. And, in order to generate a big hit, it is necessary to enter the open second variable winning hole 235 to enter a V, but since a small hit occurs in a non-electric support state, the player strikes the left and There is. Therefore, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the display of "Aim for V with a right strike" is performed, which instructs the player to strike the ball right and enter the second variable winning hole 235 and have the V win. Thus, it can be said that the effect performed in the variation display of the small hitting symbol is at least partially the same as the effect performed in the variable display of the big hitting symbol. In other words, it can be said that the effect performed in the variation display of the small hit symbol is partially different from the effect performed in the variable display of the big hit symbol.

  FIG. 34 (d) shows a state in which the game ball enters the second variable winning hole 235 in the small hit game, and the entered game ball receives a V prize. That is, as shown in FIG. 34 (d), when winning V, in the decorative symbol display device 208, a big "V" display, which is a notification of the occurrence of a big hit, is displayed at the center of the display screen. A presentation is performed. The display of "V" is the same as the display that is displayed when a small hit is made during electric support and the player wins V in the small hit game. That is, the result of the variable display of the symbol based on the remaining suspension becomes the small hit, and the display displayed when the V is won in the small hit game is a small hit during the electricity support, and the V in the small hit game. It can be said that a part of the display displayed on is the same.

  FIG. 34 (e) shows that the V jackpot start effect is ended and the second round of the jackpot game is started. Specifically, the decorative symbol display device 208 displays that it is the second round of the jackpot game. As described above, after the second round, the second variable winning opening 235 is not opened, and the first variable winning opening 234 is opened. In the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208, a display showing the number of winning balls from the first jackpot is displayed, and at the timing shown in FIG. 34 (e), from the start of the first jackpot game. Since two game balls were won in the second variable winning hole 235 during the execution of the small hit game to the number of winning balls (6810) obtained by the end of the previous big hit game, to the second variable winning hole 235 "6840 get" is displayed to indicate that 6840 winning balls have been obtained by adding 30 winning balls obtained by multiplying the number of winning balls (15) for winning a prize by 2 (number of winning balls). ing. Further, since the present big hit is a big hit generated by the V prize, “V” is displayed in the upper left corner of the decorative symbol display device 208 instead of the display result of the decorative symbol.

  FIG. 34 (f) shows that the fifteenth round is over and a big hit game ending effect is being performed. As described above, this big hit is a big hit as a result of the variable display of the symbols based on the remaining hold, and it is a big hit that occurred due to the V winning in the small hit game, so after the big hit game is over, It shifts to the power support state as the game state 2 in which the number of power support is one. It can also be said that the gaming state 2 to be shifted this time is a single power support state. In other words, it can be said that the gaming state 2 is a gaming state in which a chance time is given that the number of times of power support is smaller than that of the gaming state 3. In the decorative symbol display device 208, the character display of "one petit chance time" which indicates that effect is performed, and it is shown that it is likely to be a big hit if a strike occurs in an effect (boring reach effect) performed during power support. The word "strike with big hit" is also displayed. It should be noted that one gaming ball is won in the second special view start opening 232 during the timing shown in FIG. 34 (f) from the timing shown in FIG. 34 (e), and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 , And four reserve lamps are on, and it is shown that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is reserved for four times.

  As described above, when the big hit game is over, as shown in FIG. 34 (g), the variable display of the special view 2 is started as described above and shown in FIG. 16 (b) to FIG. 16 (c). . Normally, the remaining number display is displayed at the upper center of the decorative symbol display device 208, but the game state transitioning after the end of the current big hit game is the power support as the game state 2 in which the number of times of power support is one. Since it is a state, it changes to the remaining number display, and if there is no strike in the fluctuation display of the symbol this time, the character display of "strike out" is displayed to the effect that the charge support state ends.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 34 (h) to FIG. 34 (k), bowling reach effect is performed, and as a result display, an image of a scene where the strike can not be taken is displayed together with a character display of "sorry", It is informed that the result of the fluctuation display of the symbol this time is a loss. In addition, about the content of the presentation of FIG. 34 (h)-the same figure (k), it is the same as having shown in FIG. 33 (f)-the same figure (i) and having mentioned above.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 34 (l), the second special view display device 214 stops the display with “special view c” which is the display result of losing, and the decorative symbol display device 208 displays the decorative symbol “decoration 1 -Decorative 6-Decorative 2 "is stopped and displayed, and the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2 is stopped and displayed with a symbol of" x "indicating that it is a loss. Furthermore, since the first variable display of the special figure 2 is ended after shifting to the power support state, the character display of "petit chance time end" indicating that the power support state as the gaming state 2 is ended is performed. . In addition, at this time, "9090get" is displayed to indicate that the number of winning balls from the start of the first big hit game to the end of the previous big hit game is 9090, and it was obtained at this time Report the number of game balls. In the meantime, one gaming ball is won in the second special view start opening 232 during the timing shown in FIG. 34 (l) from the timing shown in FIG. 34 (k), and the special view 2 reserve lamp 220 , And four reserve lamps are on, and it is shown that the variable display of Special Figure 2 is reserved for four times.

<Modification 2>
Next, modified examples of effects that can be executed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 35: is a figure which shows in steps the other example of the production centering on the decorative symbol display apparatus 208 of the pachinko machine 100 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment.

  FIG. 35 (a) shows the state when the power-supply state ends and the fluctuation display of the first special figure among the variable-displays of the special figure 2 suspended at the end of the power-supply state is started. It is shown. That is, when the power support state ends, the power transfer state as the gaming state 3 or the gaming state 2 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 35 (a) shows that the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. When transitioning to the non-electric support state, winning of the game ball to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in FIG. 35 (a), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. Thereafter, the variable display of the special view 2 which is suspended (remaining suspended) is performed when the power saving state ends. In the effect example, unlike the above-described embodiment, the bowling reach effect described above is performed in the fluctuation display of the symbol based on the remaining suspension. Therefore, the three decorative symbols remain small and displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 even after shifting to the non-electric support state.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), bowling reach presentation is started. In addition, since the rendition shown by FIG.35 (b)-the same figure (e) is the same as that of FIG.32 (c)-the same figure (f), description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 35 (f), in the second special view display device 214, the stop display is performed in the "special view b" which is the display result of the small hit, but in the decorative symbol display device 208, three decorative symbols Is still fluctuating. Since the display result of the symbol this time is a small hit, the second variable winning opening 235 is opened. And, in order to generate a big hit, it is necessary to enter the open second variable winning hole 235 to enter a V, but since a small hit occurs in a non-electric support state, the player strikes the left and There is. Therefore, in the decorative symbol display device 208, the display of "Aim for V with a right strike" is performed, which instructs the player to strike the ball right and enter the second variable winning hole 235 and have the V win.

  FIG. 35 (g) shows a state in which the game ball enters the second variable winning hole 235 in the small hit game, and the entered game ball receives a V prize. That is, as shown in FIG. 35 (g), when winning V, the decorative symbol display device 208 starts displaying a large "V" which is a notification of the occurrence of a big hit at the center of the display screen. A presentation is performed. The effect shown in FIG. 35 (g) is, for example, the same as the effect shown in FIG. 32 (i).

  In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 35 (g), when a small hit occurs and the game ball enters the second variable winning hole 235 in the small hit game, and the entered game ball receives a V prize. Although the display is performed, instead of this, for example, as shown in FIG. 35 (g ′), the V winning may be notified by displaying in a mode in which three decorative symbols are aligned. Also in this case, the player may be able to easily recognize that a big hit has occurred.

<Modification 3>
Next, modified examples of effects that can be executed in the pachinko machine 100 according to the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 36: is a figure which shows in steps the other example of the production centering on the decorative symbol display apparatus 208 of the pachinko machine 100 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment.

  FIG. 36 (a) shows the state when the power-supply state ends and the fluctuation display of the first special figure among the variable-displays of the special figure 2 held at the end of the power-supply state is started. It is shown. That is, when the power support state ends, the power transfer state as the gaming state 3 or the gaming state 2 is shifted to the non-power support state as the gaming state 1. FIG. 36 (a) shows a state in which the first variation display of the special view is performed after the power support state ends. When transitioning to the non-electric support state, winning of the game balls to the second special view starting opening 232 becomes difficult, so as shown in FIG. 36 (a), the decorative symbol display device 208 strikes the player left A left strike indication is displayed to indicate that. Thereafter, the variable display of the special view 2 which is suspended (remaining suspended) is performed when the power saving state ends. In addition, the bowling reach presentation mentioned above will be performed in the change display of the symbol based on the remaining suspension also in this presentation example. Therefore, the three decorative symbols remain small and displayed in the lower right corner of the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 208 even after shifting to the non-electric support state. The variation display of the symbol shown in FIG. 36 is a variation display of Special Figure 2 which is a 16 R direct hit big hit.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), bowling reach presentation is started. In addition, since the rendition shown by FIG.36 (b)-the same figure (e) is the same as that of FIG.32 (c)-the same figure (f), description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 36 (f), in the second special view display device 214, the final display is made as "special view a" which is the display result of the 16R direct hit big hit, and in the decorative symbol display device 208, The combination of the decorative patterns of 3-decoration 3-decoration 3 is stopped and displayed. Further, even in the special figure 2 fourth symbol t2, it is informed that the special figure 2 is stopped and displayed with "special figure a". As a result, the player may be able to recognize that the 16R direct hit is a big hit. In this way, the bowling reach effect may be performed even in the case of a 16 R hit to a big hit. In addition, when the variable display of the symbol which becomes 16 R direct hit big hit is done, not the bowling reach production but other reach production may be done, for example, normal reach production and the above-mentioned defeat reach production etc are performed It is also good. In addition, in the fluctuation display of the design based on the residual reserve, it is rare that the 16R direct hit big hit is rare and the rare value is high, so in the case of the 16R direct hit big hit in the fluctuation display of the symbol based on the residual reserve, In the variable display, a special reach effect that can be performed only in the symbol variable display based on the remaining suspension may be performed.

  FIG. 36 (g) shows that the termination effect of the big hit game by the 16R direct hit big hit is performed when the 16th round is over. As mentioned above, since this big hit became a 16R direct hit big hit as a result of the fluctuation indication of the design which is based on remaining retention, after the end of the said big hit game, the number of times of the electric support is not one but four times It shifts to the power support state as the gaming state 3 that is. In addition, you may make it shift to the power support state as the game state 2 whose number of power support is 1 time. In the decorative symbol display device 208, a character display of "4 times a chance time" for displaying that is performed, and it is shown that it is likely to be a big hit if a strike occurs in an effect (boring reach effect) performed during power support. The character display of "hit by strike" is also performed.

  In the embodiments described so far, the variable display is started by prioritizing the special view 2 over the special view 1, but the special view 1 and the special view 2 are configured to be able to simultaneously change and display ( Simultaneous variable machine). That is, the variable display of the special view 2 may be started during the variable display of the special view 1, and the variable display of the special view 1 may be started during the variable display of the special view 2. At this time, when a big hit is generated in the special view 2 during the variable display of the special view 1, the change display result of the special view 1 in the variable display may be discarded, or the big hit generated in the special view 2 The variation display result of the special view 1 may be derived after the big hit game is finished. Also, when a big hit occurs in the special view 1 during the change display of the special view 2, the change display result of the special view 2 in the variable display may be discarded, or the big hit that occurs in the special view 1 The variation display result of the special view 2 may be derived after the big hit game is over.

  In this case, for example, the fluctuation display time (first time: for example, 250 seconds) of the special figure 1 in the power support state corresponds to the fluctuation display of the special figure 2 for the number of times of power support (for example, 10 times or 100 times). It may be made longer than time (second time: for example, variation display time 2 seconds × 100 times = 200 seconds). In addition, the fluctuation display time of the special view 2 in the power support state may be performed in only one kind of fluctuation time (for example, 2 seconds), or plural kinds of fluctuation times may be prepared. When preparing multiple types of fluctuation time, the fluctuation display time (first time) of the special figure 1 in the power support state is the longest fluctuation display time (second time of the special figure 2 for the number of times of power support It may be made longer than). By this, it may be possible to digest the power support state before the variable display of the special view 1 ends.

  Further, when the variable display of the special view 1 is started during the variable display of the special view 2, the variable display of the special view 1 may be made long. In addition, the variable display of the special view 1 may be performed only once, for example, when the power support state starts. In this way, a big hit may be generated by the variable display of the special view 2 as much as possible. In addition, the other symbol variation display control may be applied to cause a big hit by the variation display of the special figure 2.

  Further, when the variable display of the special view 1 is performed in the power support state, the number of remaining times of the power support may not be reduced, or when the variable display of the special view 1 is performed, The number of remaining power supplies may be reduced.

  In addition, in the simultaneous variable machine, when it becomes a big hit in relation to the symbol variation display of the special figure 2 held when the power support state is over, it will shift to the game state 2 after the end of the big hit game If the jackpot is hit as a result of the symbol variation display of the special figure 1 being held when the power support state is over, the game state 2 is shifted to after the end of the big hit game. You may

  Moreover, in the embodiment described so far, the special figure 2 priority change and the pachinko machine in which the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are simultaneously changed are described as an example. A pachinko machine that performs a lottery (falling lottery) to shift from a special figure high probability state to a special figure low probability state every time the symbol display is changed after the transition to a definite change state or a ST machine that is in a definite change state for the number of times The invention can also be applied to machines.

  Moreover, in the embodiment described above, the pachinko machine provided with the first special view display device 212 and the second special view display device 214 was described as an example, but only one special view display device is provided. The invention may also be applicable to pachinko machines.

  In the embodiment described above, although the number of times of power assistance provided in the power support state is constant regardless of the symbol of the big hit, a plurality of times of power support provided in the power support state are prepared, and the power support state The number of times of charge assistance may be determined by the jackpot symbol.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the jackpot state ends, the game state 2 is transitioned to after the end of the jackpot if the jackpot is made in connection with the variable display of the special view 2 suspended. If, for example, it becomes a big hit in the variable display of the symbol a predetermined number of times (for example, once) after the power support state ends, it shifts to the game state 2 after the end of the big hit game It may be configured as follows. Thereby, by fixing the number of times of the variable display, special effects may be easily performed.

  In addition, when the game ball passes through the specified area, it has a specific area through which the game ball entered in the variable winning opening such as electric chew etc. opened as a result of the variable display of the common drawing becomes a hit. It may be configured to be a big hit.
